My trips to Florence a plethora of experiences to share and pictures to post. This visit, however, I’m not taking as many pictures as in previous trips. During yesterdays visit to the Convent of San Marco my camera stayed in my pocket as I walked the corridors of the cells, each with a fresco by Far Angelico. I noticed that I was more observant and ‘in the moment’ because I wasn’t taking picture. If I whip through my iPhotos I’m sure I have recorded ten or fifteen different visits to just that one special place. (When I have time I’ll check it out, but I’m too busy now.)
For the first time, the beautiful cloister was open, which I share with you here.
After the San Marco visit, I ventured to the Mercato Centrale to wander about and purchase some takeout for my dinner. Tourists, residents, restaurant owners fill this amazing ‘supermarket’ feast to gaze and gape and to purchase.
