A visit to Santa Felicita on the other side of the river to see the Capponi Chapel. Architecture a typical design by Brunelleschi and drunken Mannerist paintings by Pontormo.
Through the window in the back of the church you can see the Vasari Corridor where the Medici Grand Dukes could observe mass without mingling with 'the people'. 
I have been trying to get rid of odds-and-ends ingredients in the cupboards before leaving. The result: chicken pot pie and a sfogliatelle pastry I had frozen months ago and forgot about in the back of the freezer. 
Seth in his office at I Tatti. Out the window we are treated to a lovely view of a real Tuscan bush.
We climbed through a little window in our apartment and sat on the roof, four stories above the city. A little terrifying, but there was a great view! I imagine if we were here for San Giovanni Day last Friday (the feast day for Florence's patron saint, St. John the Baptist), we would have had excellent vantage point to watch the fireworks.
A great view of the Duomo, Palazzo Vecchio, and the setting sun. Ironically, this was just an hour or two before the full lunar eclipse... which we basically missed...
I love seeing the antennas and the rooftops. So interesting!
