ha look! it's a picture with me in it! crazy - and you can see the wound bern inflicted on my tender flesh... a few days healed... it really did heal remarkably fast. and... that's the view from on top of the dome, really fun staircase winding up, some of it rather psychadelically twisted where the ceiling started to bow over with the arch rather close to your head... really made me appreciate being somewhat in shape, the climb wasn't a problem but there were a lot of panting people. views wow... perfectly clear at that point, could see all the way to the mountains, and imagine the ocean.... much more a dense sprawling city then florence, and not so much tuscan vividness of colors - but a lot more intriguing white hulks poking out of the city fabric.... pretty, hung out on the roof by the gift shop for everyone to get their rosaries and whatever (disgusting number of gift shops... you HAD to walk through one to get up to the tower... meh commercialism in sacred spaces)....
