    David, if you can take the short train trip to Florence, the "Ponte
    de Vecchio" (not sure on spelling) is definite must see. this bridge
    over the Arno river is home to an old group of jewelers. if i had the
    time to find my pics i would post them. not only the jewelry was
    magnificent but the gem carvings (one of my favs) were phenomenal (a
    fish carved from a solid chunk of tourmaline comes to mind). if you
    do get to florence, try to see the "Acedemia"(again sp?), that were
    Mike's "David" is and the emerging sculpture by it are really
    intriguing. andrew goodell
