Art Imitates Life

If you know us, when we are on deadline or involved in a serious situation, Suzanne and I are as driven, plan-oriented, reliable and detailed as anyone. But when there is some open time and no parameters...not so much. So when we went in to old Florence to see Michelangelo's statue of David, we didn't do our homework and found a two-hour line just to get tickets, and another hour-long line after that to get in.

So what do we Wychocki's do? Get gelato, walk-around the tourist shops, see the old cathedrals and watch all of the other tourists (who planned better or could stomach the lines...most without kids)!

We were headed to Pisa, so we did not stick around and see the famous Piazzale Michelangelo, but we hear Kanye and Kim and getting married there in a few weeks. Or just the reception - who can keep track of those two? So there's that.

It was still a blast and we even found parking (again) for the big black beast (minivan) right in the tourist area. In and out. Sweet.

P.S. We did see a replica statue of David after all, so, close enough...:)

P.S.S. Maddy is not too keen on the realism of these Italian male statues! ;D But she does love the Pinocchio's!
