I also bought a watercolor pad and a wonderful sculpting tool:
We then had lunch in the Piazza Grande.
We visited the Basilica of San Francesco which houses the fresco cycle of the Legend of the True Cross, the masterpiece which Piero della Francesca painted for the Franciscan church between 1452 and 1466. The subject of the cycle is taken from the “Legenda Aurea” written by Jacopo da Varazze in the 13th century. It was an amazing series of frescos where we could not take pictures.We stopped at an outlet mall on our way home, but were disappointed that almost everything there was from the US, and very overpriced for an outlet.
We had dinner at our favorite pizza restaurant in Monteleone before heading home.

Ha ha... just now reading this thinking about our trip back next month. This was the day we got the ticket without knowing it for driving somewhere into the 'old city'... never saw any signs but that $200+ ticket in the mail later was NOT fun.
