This afternoon we walked way up to a viewpoint to see the old part of the city bathed in the golden sun. The highest piazza is at San Miniato church, which we'd read had services starting at 5:30 p.m. where there is Gregorian chant. Sadly the church was empty of monks, there were only tourists, and the attendant advised us that vespers started today at 6:30, and the music wouldn't start until 7:30, which was too late for us, as we needed to walk back down the hill before dark, find a place for dinner, and walk back to our room to pack.

By the time we found a place for dinner, after walking back down the hill, and finished our meal, it was dark, and when we got to the river we were surprised to see the coloured lights on the Ponte Vecchio (the old bridge).
