We are in Firenze and ready to see this city after 10 hours of sleep. We walked up to the Basilica Santa Croce to get our Pelligrino Passport authenticated and stamped to start our Camino di San Francesco. We had tickets to the Accademia which holds Michelangelo’s David among many beautiful works of art. There were many pieces in the collection that included San Francesco and St Clare. We walked all over the city, including Ponte Vecchia, along the Arno river, the Medicee Cappella, San Lorenzo, the Duomo, Santa Maria Novella basilica. We went to Mass at 6:00 pm at SS Annunziata where, to our surprise and pleasure, there was a special ceremony with 3 concelebrating priests and a full chior. We ended the second day with a great dinner in a small Tuscan restaurant. 

On to Pontassieve tomorrow.  Rain forcast for the whole day.
