Boboli Gardens

Lisa: So, the story behind the Duomo is, that the architect was this guy and he wanted to make a dome on top of the church. But nobody said it would work, it would cave in. So to prove his point, he had a challenge contest to see who else in the realm was a better architect, and would make the design for the Duomo. The challenge was to stand an egg up on its end and make it stay.

Me: Does this involve salt?

Lisa: No. He takes an egg and smashes it down onto a plate, so that the end buckles in, and then it stands up. The End.
The Lisa D. Tour of Italy: Hey, let's go to a really pretty place...it was probably a medici palace, because every frickin thing in Italy is a medici palace.

And so, the view of Florence from the Boboli Gardens. A Medici Palace.



Lisa and Cal(l)i(e).

Pretty.
