De Medici's of Florence
A Medici here, a Medici there, everywhere a Medici. This town was dominated by these guys even getting a Pope on the roll over the Borgias. We traipsed to the further reaches of the town today to where the wall once stood. Being Sunday a lot of the churches were in use. There was a good map room in the Pelazzo Vecchio which showed the development of the town over time. No rain today, temperature low 30's. Yesterday there was rain for three hours which was bliss for walking in. I am unskilled at walking with an umbrella. Another 20000 steps today! Every walking day has been 20000 steps, except the Dolomites which got to 30000.

Ticked lots of boxes today. Mostly viewed from the outside but also ventured into another museum. This time Palazzo Vecchio. Another 6 hours of walking. Having a rest now. Venturing out for dinner and twilight photos a bit later.
