Corri La Vita

Last sunday we participated in Corri La Vita; a "Marathon" to support breast cancer. Turns out, an Italian marathon consists of a few coffee breaks, chatting with friends, and tours of the city. Although we went ready to run, we were relieved that the pace was so slow considering our aching muscles from the weekend's hike. Thousands of people wearing their bright orange shirts gathered in Piazza Signoria for the beginning of the marathon. We walked through museums and gardens that were open to the public just for the day. We ended the excursion at the Boboli Gardens behind Palazzo Pitti. What a beautiful place.
