Florence train station: Minding bags and killing time Sahayak-style while Maia goes off on yet another fact finding mission (!) ...and obliges Sahayak for this set up shot (below) on her return :o) 

Florence

We have to wonder whether it was some Aussies who climbed up onto this statue in Florence to add a bottle of vino...empty of course! 

Above and above right: Busking in Florence...one way to get attention! (...and a few euro!) 

Sahayak meets with the approval of this 'live statue' for contributing some euro to his collection box... 

Maia finds seventh heaven with this beautiful organic kamut bread - her first opportunity in many years to enjoy good Italian bread ... and such a fine piece of art it is that she decided it deserved to be photographed!

Maia spots another 'live statue' engaging with a donating passerby.

Sahayak snaps  a happy snapper who was so engrossed in the huge cathedral in Florence that he didn't realise he was the star in Sahayak's shot :o)

Above: Maia's photo at the monastery in Fiesole (outskirts of Florence).
Below: Sahayak's inspiration at the same monastery.
