Today began with a little guest on the window sill. This little guy is a very welcome guest as he eats mosquitoes, of which there are more than a couple.
On the docket today was the museum of science, the borgello museum, the church of the Santo Spirito and gelato.
First things first--- gelato. We stopped at the little shop on the other side of the bridge.
We walked to the church (closed), we will table that trip until Sat.
The we picked up a couple of souvenirs...
Ais wanted to have her portrait drawn... we found a guy near the Ufizzi and she had it drawn.
Then it was off to the science museum or museum of Galileo.

 |

and a creepy thing--

| Galileo's pointer finger |
We have seen a lot of body parts preserved and under glass- a sign of respect?
Next we headed to the Bargello- a museum of statues. On the way we got side tracked by the home where Dante was born and raised.
