Day 12: Music in the Streets of Florence

Both of our weekend nights in Florence were spent walking around outside, listening to street artists. Our favorite was the English-speaker doing lots of Simon and Garfunkel covers near our hotel at the Piazza della Signoria. He stood right between the entry path to the Uffizi and the Palazzo Vecchio. Go ahead and be jealous. Just like the rest of the crowd, we sat among Renaissance sculptures of the Loggia dei Lanzi and faced the copy of the David in front of the Palazzo Vecchio. Our room was so close, we were later lulled to sleep by his finale of "America".
