(An overview)
Ryan, Scott and I went to the top of the Duomo at the Cathedral of S. Maria del fiore in Florence. There's no life so we had to walk 463 steps to the top... and then down again... but it was well worth every step! You could see out over Florence and Tuscany in every direction and all the pillars were white marble and absolutely gorgeous. Inside the ceilings were painted with huge, beautiful murals and there was amazing artwork everywhere. We also went to Museo dell' Opera and Academea where we saw the Statue of David by Michelangelo. They say once you've seen 'Daved' you have seen perfection.. and I absolutely agree. The people in Florence were all very friendly as well, however it's very "fashion forward" aka expensive aka... no shopping for me :( lol. It certainly sets itself apart from everywhere else in Italy that we have seen, and I really liked it there, but after the big attractions there isn't much else to see. Tonight we are going to the street market, and then we are out of here and off to ROMA! can't wait!
