Last Day in Florence

We spent our last day in Florence at the Leonardo Da Vinci Museum and eating at il merato centrale (Central Market). The Museum was awesome. There were a lot of things the kids could play with and a few things they weren't allowed to touch. Reilly was in heaven and I thought for sure he was going to break everything. There was a catapult, olive press, and a room of mirrors, among many other things. What I found most fascinating was learning about Da Vinci's handwriting. He was ambidextrous and would often write with both his left and right hands. When he wrote with his right hand he wrote like everyone else. When he wrote with his left hand, he wrote

backwards!

After the museum we went to the market for lunch. This place is amazing. I took a few more pictures of the food but not as many as I would have liked. It's was crowded and I was more interested in eating than taking pictures. We are going to spend the rest of the day doing laundry, packing and watching the World Cup. Tomorrow we fly to Geneva then drive to Chatel, France where we will spend the next 5 weeks.
