Looking outside of my apartment window I check the weather. (day before) I go to my first Italian class which is just a short tour of Firenze. We stop by the outdoor (indoor) Mercato di San Lorenzo.
Mercato di San Lorenzo
The train station - Firenze Santa Maria Novella. The station is part inside and part outside.
Afterwards I go by my notebook. All of the notebooks are either good quality or bad. The good one are around 3 or 4 euros = 7USD. So obviously I took the lower quality notebook.
After buying the notebook I wandered into the Scuola del Cuoio or the Leather School of Florence, apparently it is the best leather school in Florence or perhaps in the Tuscan area.
These are some of the older machines they had on display.
Many of their windows were made out of these thin slats of wood. The way they are designed is ingenious though. They work the same way as normal shades where you pull a thin rope and the shades collapse up.
This is the courtyard of the school. Strangely I didn't take any pictures of leather.
A stone sink.
The church? right next to the school. The first photo is the most authentic to reality. I was just playing around different feelings with the other two.
A closer view of the church.
Some gates.
After checking out the leather school I went for a stroll alongside the Arno River.
On the way back, the side of Santa Croce, towards the piazza.
Then I came home and made a mess of my dinner.
