I don't have a lot of new pictures. I have been going to tons of museums, but most of them don't allow any pictures. I tried to smuggle a few of the good stuff but they didn't turn out. So that is what I get for breaking the law. One of the more interesting things that I saw was in the Medici Chapel (they owned everything at one point). During the inquisition they kept Michealangelo safe and the room he stowed away in still has his sketches on the wall. It was pretty cool.

Scattered Pic...tures in the corner of my mind
Alright I will throw down some pictures to satisfy your eyes, and this way you won't have to read too much of my nonsense. Enjoy...
This is Ponte Vecchio. It is said to have the best selection and price on gold. I am still unsure about price, but the selection is definitely better than a local mall jeweler.
Thought I would throw in a little button collection at the Pitti Palace for the Mom. They actually had a whole room full of the history of buttons.
This one is to show you I am still alive. I am standing in front of Boboli Gardens. They are pretty liberal with the term garden over here. This one belonged to the Medici family and is litterally acres, but in America the green stuff behind me would be called crab-grass and the lawn guy would be fired.
