Ponte Vecchio

All though I know considerably less about the Ponte Vecchio it is a magnificent bridge to cross and look at. I know that the commerce that has gone on over the bridge has not always been jewelers and gold merchants, but that’s what it is today, as well as a common meeting point for African merchants, street painters, and beggars. Mark Twain made a very clever remark about the Arno (the river that runs under the Ponte Vecchio) calling it nothing more than a creek or something. I’ll have to look that up!
