Florence is a magnificnet medieval city. At the heart of the city is the Duomo.
It is a spectacular cathedral and is currently being renovated.
We wandered the streets to take it all in. We made reservations to see Michelangelo’s David at La Academia. It is a HUGE statue. For some reason I did not realize it was so big. I do recall it was sculpted with the intention of placing it at the top of the Duomo…but WOW!
We also stood in line for the Uffizi so we could see Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus” as well as several more of his masterpieces. There were also some Leonardo Da Vinci works and numerous other Renaissance pieces that were a treat to behold.
Yesterday was a day trip to Fiesole for the view of Florence from the top of the hill.
Today we took the train to Pisa to see the Leaning Tower of. Sure, it was cheesy. But when will we have this chance again?
Tomorrow we catch the train to Rome. We are beside ourselves with excitement.
On Sunday William is hoping to se Il Papa!
Cool pics! Is the guy in charge of that big cathedral known as the “Major-Duomo”? And if so, what is the name of his email list? And William The Sheep is hoping to see – a potato? His dad?
Il Papa = The POPE!
