Yeah, I'm not kidding. They put a grass lawn up in front of the Duomo this saturday.
Why? Well, because Matt was in Florence.
Or actually, his trip coincided with the start of the "Florens 2010" festival. Basically, Florence wants to become a major creative and economic center in the world once again, and this was a festival to help jump start that. So they put out a grass lawn. On Friday they stuck a life size replica of the David on one of the side domes, and then moved him to the grass on Saturday. Yeah I'm not kidding. There was also a food market in piazza della reppublica, and an olive oil market in piazza Santa Croce. Matt came to Florence at a smart time. As crazy as all of that sounds, it's all so Florence (for any of you out there who have been here, you know what I'm saying...it just all was SO something that would happen in Florence).
We had a lovely, wonderful fun weekend. Climbed to the top of the Duomo (which was, of course, SPECTACULAR), ate a lot, wandered around...it was not super touristy, but it was very fun. It was very nice to share my favorite city with someone. And to have a break from the landscape stupor I'd been in all week.
