After picking up Jamie at the end of the conference, the family was off to enjoy their last day in Italy. On the agenda was some serious shopping in San Lorenzo, one last authentic Italian meal, and then a trip back to Piazzelle Michelangelo for Jamie to be able to see it.
On the way over to San Lorenzo, we came across an Italian singing group. They drew quite a crowd.
After catching a few tunes, we headed over to the San Lorenzo leather markets for a power hour of shopping. Jamie was like a whirlwind, hitting stand after stand. The other highlight was Mallory being hit on by a young Italian boy, who was offering her his toy. Steve kept a close on on him. Here is Mom and Mallory before starting the shopping, notice the lack of shopping bags. That would soon change.
Here is Mom and Mallory on their way to find a nice restaurant along the Arno. We stumbled upon a great little place and had Jamie (and Mallory's) favorite: gnocchi. After getting our bellies full, it was off to Piazzelle Michelangelo to check out the nighttime views. Moreso, Steve wanted to make Jamie take Mallory up all the steps so she could see how tough it was. Suffice to say, Jamie demanded a treat (gelato) when she got to the top.
One more family picture with Florence in the background. Again, Mallory was more interested in the surroundings.
Here is the replica of the David, with an almost full moon behind him. Not quite the same as the real thing though.
