So I drop my dearest at her office, where she is going to unleash her toothache on the unsuspecting criminal elements of the citizenship who decide to misbehave on Saurday afternoon, and after a short while I'm on the tiny train - eastbound Florence.
Florence, before. by alfrjw, on Flickr
While on the train, I make plans with the little Fiona for coffee and a chat, and opt for the 45mm that seems to love the town.
Like most, I head to Santa Maria Novella and look back

Towards the river, bordering the Alinari museum (the photography history in Florence), I enter the fashion district and it shows.

Lost, but not really, holding the map without looking at it, taking all in.

I hit the river, turn left, move on to the next street.. Meanwhile, they plan.

While approaching I start hearing the most beautiful voice from afar - this lady profusely thanking some fortunate one in a melodic Russian, almost singing.

Look up. It's there since the sixties. Mario.

Approaching their target, the Mother pontificates.

Let's look up again. Old but clean.

So I reach Republic Square, besides the merry-go-round.

I approach S. Lorenzo and on the steps all the world sits and solves the day issues
EM100152.jpg by alfrjw, on Flickr
Mmm. ice cream. Idea.
EM100158.jpg by alfrjw, on Flickr
The little one has the same idea. Hey! Ice cream!

I agree, remembering I didn't have lunch! Easily corrected in the upper Mercato Centrale, after a while I'm back on the street.

Enter Fiona, chat, coffee, books, the unsuspecting others, and a look at the Leica store.
EM100182.jpg by alfrjw, on Flickr
And a little walk again! Meanwhile the street fills. (JPEG, RAW)
EM100183-2.jpg by alfrjw, on Flickr
So we head to the station and our respective ways

And that's all. I start liking this E-M10 thing.
