What’s a trip it Italia without shopping, so we shopped in the morning. Then, after a delightful lunch (they almost all were), we went back to see the Cappella Branccaci<\/a>. This is a large chapel across the Arno river from the main part of Firenze. The most famous work inside is Masaccio’s Expulsion from the Garden<\/em>, which is shown below. Words can’t describe the despair this picture evokes when viewed from within the Cappella.<\/p>\n

While finding dinner near our hotel, we found a cheese shop that had four stuffed pigs “eating” which was quite charming (or strange)!<\/p>\n

I finished <\/a>J.D. Salinger: The Catcher in the Rye and Other Works (Writers and Their Works)<\/a> and a book Aviva read during our trip, Girl With a Pearl Earring<\/a>. The later is by Tracy Chevalier and is very engrossing and a quick read. I love reading while I’m on holiday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
