Monday was a pretty cruisy day after our weekend in Chianti. Anna was back at school and I was back in bed, reading up on AFL news and watching tv. That afternoon we went for a stroll, I tried to get artistic with my camera and then we read our books for a while before heading out for dinner, pasta again!
Tuesday I was back into my gym routine while Anna was at school and then we went to the Santa Croce. It is a church for the celebration of national glory, housing the tombs of many illustrious Italians including Michaelangelo, Dante and Galileo. Other wealthy Italians were buried in the floor of the church which was a bit weird walking over the top of them!

Outside the Santa Croce is a huge area very popular with the youngsters and as it is only a few mins from our place, we frequent here quite a bit. At the end of June, Florence celebrates its patron saint, John, with a calico storico match (soccer with no rules!) in the square which we are really looking forward to.
Wednesday was a day dedicated to shopping and walking around the markets. I am yet to purchase anything because the majority of shops here are for women, but Anna has done her best to make up for the both of us! The main market in Firenze (mercato centrale) has enough food to feed Africa, we love it! We buy most of our fruit from here and occasionally come for lunch as well.
