The View From the Street

If anyone is looking to waste some time (not that grad students with dissertations to write would do such a thing), I am pleased to announce that Google Maps now has a street view function for Florence. Instant entertainment! Here is our house!

And the back of our house! (Under the balcony with all the plants.)

You can see the sights (and the sightseers)...

Duomo

PonteVecchio

And of course you can admire the strange photographic effects...

The invisible leg lady!

NoLegs

The tourist decapitated by the salami truck!

SalamiHead
Attenzione! Head on sidewalk!

And so on.

As penance for these sins of photography, here is a bella vista:

I feel like decapitation by a surreptitious salami truck was the plot of CSI: New York last week.

These are wonderful! I want you to narrate my life so it seems more amusing. Miss you a lot!
