8 Apr -- Florence, Italy (Day 4)

One Easter Sunday we headed for Florence to see their crazy firework laden cart.  No kidding, at the end of Mass: (1) a firework is lit inside the church that "shoots" out the door to a cart which (2) explodes for 20+ minutes.  Forget chocolate: Italian Easter has FIREWORKS!!  (High five!)

 It looked like a nice day at first.



 Henry did not appreciate this approach to celebrating Easter.  He wanted a Easter egg toss instead.

 The streets quickly filled with smoke.

 Henry's brain has shutdown in self-preservation mode.



 Still not pleased.


 Meanwhile...20 minutes later...



 View of Florence from a Piazzale Michelangelo.

 We stopped at the Florence American Cemetary on the way home.



 We also stopped for some gelato.  Charlie hears footsteps...or just his beating heart.





 Dinner.

Yay--Easter!

 San Gimignano in the center.
