ponte vecchio

The Ponte Vecchio is the oldest bridge in Florence.  It has jewelry shops all along it that were originally butcher shops.  Wynn and I usually avoid going over that bridge since that area always seems to be extremely crowded.  The tour guide that we had gave us a tip.  She said to visit Ponte Vecchio before 9:30 am.  So, that is what we did, and it was a very different experience...peaceful, quiet, beautiful.



This is a rare sight.  This area is usually
crammed with vendors selling all sorts of things
and tourists taking pics
