Dude! I can’t believe how cool you’re looking.
(in the voice of Comic Book Store Guy): “Best… picture of you… ever.”
Dude, you are truly stylin’ with the facial hair! Hope you’re planning on keeping it when you return home! Makes you look quite a few years younger… The shades are cool too!
Do you think statues get cold in winter?
Did you take that picture before or after the five hour wait to get into the Ufizzi? 🙂

Hey guys, this is definetly not Ed Bott. It’s Eddie Botteli, the new Hollywood star…
While you’re there, a few cool things to know:
You don’t have to wait in line… Check out http://www.weekendafirenze.com for tickets to the different museums… It was a HUGE timesaver for us…
Go to the market (from Plazza della Signora (where you took the picture), it’s roughly to your right (assuming that you have your back to the David) and front for about .5 mile… Get some good bread, cheese, wine, etc… and then go to the park on the other side of the river (the one you get to by going over the Ponte del Vechio 🙂 )
There’s a kickass paper maker by the old vegetable market… To your right, straight up until you run out of tourists 🙂
Have a great time!

PS: The david you’re in front of is NOT the real one, just a copy… The real one is at the accademia 🙂
Ed, you could declare refugee status and apply for citizenship, and just blog long distance. Either way, you’ve got a new photo for the back of the next Windows book.
