Florence - Street poster 1

This advertising brightens up a rather dull wall here in Florence .

I wonder who Greg and Mark are ??

Pisa - the local cafe.

Lots of small cafes can be found in the back streets of Pisa -  intimate places with just a few chairs and tables.

The photo was taken early one Sunday morning so the cafe had yet to open .

Florence - Market stall

Sunday morning and here in Florence market stalls appear in the many squares.

The cashmere garments on this stall were quite cheap.

Pisa - The Tower

Well what everyone goes to look at in Pisa ..

One rather tilting tower.
