Very nice, Mark. Not nearly as crowded as the streets in the East.

Nicely photographed Mark. It was more crowded when we were there about 10 days after you were. We missed getting into the Basilica of Santa Croce by a few minutes and it was raining at that time as well. We didn't have time to go inside on our visit in June 2022 either. Hopefully we'll make it inside the next time we're in Florence.
