Yesterday, we got up in the morning ready for adventure! First, we walked to a park near our house, then promptly went back to our house to leave our sweatshirts there. Then, we walked through a bridge with lots of shops on it, then we went to the Piazza Della Signoria, where the copy of Michelangelo's David statue was, among others, like the Rape of the Sabine Woman (shiver).
Then we went into the Duomo, one of the largest churches in the world, and let me tell you, it was amazing! We tried to take a trip up to the top, but you could only get a ticket for everything in the Duomo, not just a trip to the top, so we abandoned that idea. But it was still amazing!
After the Duomo, we had lunch at a nice restaurant, then got gelato (delicious!).
Then we got into line for the Accademia, the museum home to the original David and so much more! It was so exciting and awesome to see those old paintings and sculptures that have been around for hundreds of years! My brother and I were thrilled!
After that, we caught a bus to Fiosole, a high-up town with a great view of Florence. We stayed there and walked around for a little while, then went back and fell right asleep!
Today is a day of museums. I will post about it tomorrow.
