uphill both ways


This will have to count for yesterday and today. I was too tired yesterday.

So i'm attempting to go to things i didn't see last time i was here. Yesterday I went to Boboli Gardens. I don't know how this is possible, but i was walking uphill the entire time. So first you walk up here. nothing right?
and you get to see this

but then you climb this

which is mostly those stupid step/ramp things. they're long steps that ramp up.... hell on the ankles. the view from the top though...
andrew kohr would be so proud.
 further up, there is this.


and looking out


i wandered though the garden for hours so more pics to come later. but this computer hates me so..
also saw the Ponti Vecchio 

On to today. Decided to take it easy. This morning i went to the Galileo Museum with Jill. We got to see Galileo's finger (several of them actually) they keep them in a jar (i'll spare you those pictures). I took a siesta. And decided absolutely no climbing, I'd just walk to the Piazza Michelangelo.... which is higher up than Boboli.... more stupid stairs.

here's Boboli in the distance

the view from the top


and where Hunley the monkey and I ate dinner
