| On top of the Florence duomo's huge dome. |
 |
| Surrounded by goliaths... |
 |
| ...just like Arnold. |
 |
| I think we're all smiling. It's relative. |
 |
| Trying to out-Rempel the Rempels. |
 |
| Flash was too bright for Hailey! |
 |
| Giotto's bell tower close behind. |
 |
| Madi does her best Il Duce impression. |
 |
| Inside the giant dome. Wonderful, uplifting painting! |
 |

 |
| Here you go Jane. I missed her at the rather small platform at the top. |
 |
| I know I tired them out a lot, but this is only 9:30 AM. |
 |
| Grom - the best gelato in Italy. All fresh sourced organic ingredients - no silly bright colours or goopy gunk. |
 |
| This man is passionate about his gelato. |
 |
| Always a challenge to get 54 people organized for a group photo. I haven't posted many this year because they are mostly on my daughter's DSLR camera - will do soon though. |
 |
| Real us. Fake David. |
 |

 |
| Hey, it's Italy. |

 |
| Part of our goofy shopping group. And Caitlin. |
 |
| She likes the cannoli. |
 |
| A couple people got a little over enthused about the pastry shop. |
 |
| The Arno River with the Ponte Vecchio in the background and the beam of light that constantly emits from my magic hat. |
