As we continued our walk through the town, we made our way to the bridges. The first bridge we stopped on overlooked the river (obviously), and we stayed for a while. I kicked my shoes off and laid down on the bridge, relaxing and soaking up the sun. Shelley had booked another reservation for he Ufizi museum, but the other three of us had not. So, while Shelley went off and toured the museum, we sat in a piazza and watched a miming performance. It was perfect timing really. It's hard to really describe what he did...considering he's a mime. Nonetheless, it was very entertaining and kept Kaleb, Jennifer, and me occupied until Shelley returned from the Ufizi gallery. When Shelley rejoined us, we walked over to another bridge that had markets all along and inside the bridge. It was packed with tourists and the shops were way out of our college budgets, but it's always fun walking around. Intro to Walking Around... A+.
For dinner, we headed back to the Duomo to a restaurant that we had spotted on Friday. It had a great deal for a Florentine steak and fries. I was beyond excited. I love me some steak. Although I tend to prefer filet, any cut of beef would satisfy me tonight. The steak was a gigantic T-bone and accompanied with a good amount of fries. I ate quickly, and then slowly, trying my best to savor this meal. I knew that the next time I would have steak would be in America. While eating, something happened. As always. I'm sitting there, just minding my own business, and I feel something on my foot. I look down and a pigeon is crawling on my foot! After saying some mean words to the pigeon, it walked off my foot and continued meandering along and finally out of the restaurant. Not a dull moment when traveling in Europe...I love it.
