Well Jon & Jen have been in Florence for the last couple of days and are headed for Paris today! While in Florence they went to Uffizi, Accademia, Ponte Vecchio, they went on a Tuscan Wine Tour (9am-3pm) on Friday, and left this morning. 
 

 
The Uffizi Gallery is a museum in Florence, Italy. It is one of the oldest and most famous art museums of the Western world.
 

 
The Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge) is a medieval bridge spanning the river Arno in Florence. It is one of the few remaining bridges with houses built upon. The Vasari corridor that runs over the houses connects the Uffizi with the Pitti Palace on the other side of the river.
 
The Ponte Vecchio is the oldest bridge in Florence. It is believed that a bridge already existed here during the Roman times. Its current appearance dates back to 1345 when it was built to replace a bridge which was destroyed by a flood. Houses were built on the bridge, a common practice in large European cities during the Middle Ages.  The Ponte Vecchio was the only bridge in Florence that survived the Second World War unscathed.
 
 

 
Today Bob did more cleaning/working on the starboard engine

 Uh oh .... I remember this guy from last year !!
The one with the white shorts with his back to us !!
 
Yep !  That's him !
The one with out the white shorts anymore standing
with the straw hat !!
 

 See the guy in the blue swim trunks standing in the middle of the picture?
Now look down to the right of him and you will see a woman on the beach
sitting on the ground sunning her ta-ta's !
 
 I'm just hangin' ...
 
Yup!  That's him!
 
Today we did a little bit of work on the boat before deciding to take off for the beach.  It was such a beautiful day we had to do some sunnin'!  We got quite a bit of sun today, I think we both actually got burned.  It's actually pretty amazing that we have been in sun for the last couple of months and barely have a tan!  Since being in Key West that is starting to change!
 
On the way home we stopped and had Paradise Pizza !  It was beautiful also! 
 
We had an early night tonight.  Our day on the beach wore us out !!
