Are my feet supposed to get this sore?

Today was our first full day in Florence and believe it or not, the first thing I did is log into my blog just to check it out. Arrigo better drive me to the insane asylum because this blog is driving me crazy. It doesn't recognize my paragraph breaks. I'm an editor for a living and I can't edit my own blog. The first thing we did is go for breakfast. It wasn't as good as in Cinque Terre, but it'll do ha ha. We went to the market, and our plan was to walk the market first to see what there was to offer. That plan didn't last very long. I bought a purse at the first purse stand we saw. Apparently we got a really good deal because we were his first customers of the day. I'm sure everybody makes the same mistake. I know this because there were stands everywhere with the same purse for less money. Oh well! We bought a few more things before we went into the indoor market. The indoor market is for fish and fruit and vegetables. Last night when we went for dinner, a couple from Toronto sat beside us. They told us about a place in the market that sells a delicious dish of beef on a bun. Just look for the long line of people and you'll know you found it. Sure enough, we ended up in the middle of mob central. So many locals were lined up for this beef on a bun, that we thought that maybe these Torontonians knew what they were talking about, and they did. It was delicious. These Italians really know how to cook...you don't even have to go to a restaurant. It's just as good from a stand of some sort. We went exploring all day. First we checked out a few museums. You wouldn't believe the sculptures and the detail. I am officially amazed yet again. We lucked out at all the museums we visited today. There were no entrance fees. We walked to the Ponte Vecchio Bridge, which is amazing. This bridge is unbelievable. There are homes on the bridge, as well as several shops, mostly jewelry shops. We stopped for a cappuccino and continued on our way to the Micheal Angelo Piazzale. Amazing views, not to mention a sculpture of David - one of the many in Venice, but we are going to the Academia and Uffizzi galleries on Tuesday where we will see the original "David" - the one that is protected. We decided to take the bus back to the hotel from the Piazzale because our feet were sore, but we stopped for food first at a street vendor. We each had a sandwich and then some pasta. Man oh man, they know how to cook pasta here. It is delicious. Let's all count now - how many times have I said delicious. When we got back to the hotel and before we went up to our room, Arrigo bought a beer for 2 euros, and the beer here is in big bottles. It's time to turn in now; our feet are killing us. We had a long day, and tomorrow Sara, Pierina's daughter, is meeting us. Stay tuned.
