San Spirito

This is the first time I have been able to get into this church. The important part was CLOSED! It's open on odd days for a short period of time.

Brunelleschi designed, unfinished facade.
There is a Michelangelo Crucifix in the closed part.

Father Pio...his rope belt is in the case, a relic opt Florence's favorite monk.

The Lesson?

The phone was in the car!!!!!  I could not be happier...but, I had a rough night worrying about the loss of the phone and all of the repercussions. ( buying a new one, losing the numbers, having to get a new Sim card / new phone #...loss of personal information...pictures ext.)...
ugh...Woke up at 2 and could not get back to sleep .
The lesson? Don't always expect the worst is always going to happen....? It's exhausting...

Self Portrait on the bus to the Airport

I am caught up on the blog!!!! Wow! First time. 
Today is my last day in Florence. I hope to a) find my phone, b) spend an hour or more shooting in the English Cemetery, c) buy a blue sweater I want, d) shop some more, e) hit one museum f) have lunch at La Maremma g) shoot at night with the little camera. h) do a night self portrait.
( paying attention to holding stress in my mouth. I can see it in almost every picture, a good way to correct this is by seeing it ...it's true, if you hold your face like that, it will stick!!!)
Seems like a lot...
