Saying
arriverderci to the nuns and housekeepers was a bit sad (except for the mean one who surprisingly gave me a warm hug) and I gave them little thank you gifts. It was time to move to a new place and it is nice because it saves me at least 15 minutes walking each day.
It was a good day for strolling and looking around, considering the fact that it was yet another rainy day. I continue to enjoy the sights, sounds, smells and differences of this country.
Enjoying Piazza Signoria, there appeared to be something big about to happen because people started lining up on the steps towards the square.
An incredibly lucky coincidence - I
just happened to be in the Piazza when a big parade came through, wheeling along a David look alike, complete with trumpets, flag waving, drums, marching, and all the cheering and excitement that accompanies such an event!
Everyone was cheering for David and the flag throwers were in fine form.
They never too David off of his perch and apparently the statue just went into storage after the celebration and nobody seems to know when / if ever / he will come back out!
