Florence: Michael

Florence was a great small town to go to. It was easy to walk around everywhere. The only downside was that it was extremely hot. I don't think i have sweat so much in my life. Including when i played soccer in the heat. So the day we got there we actually took a side trip to Pisa and saw the famous tower. I was expecting something more because the tower is pretty tiny but i still think that it looked pretty amazing.

So we got to Florence near the end of that day and did not do much but relax and go exploring a little bit. The next day was when we actually got to go to this one church and climb it to get an amazing view of the entire city. It is apart of Tuscany and so it was extremely beautiful.



I dont remember the name of the church we climbed but the inside of the dome had a very interesting painting. I think it might have been the final judgment but it looks like demons are torturing people by doing some crazy things. It is kind of hard to see but it is gross.



Later that day we also got to see the original statue of David by Michelangelo. It cost 10 euros to get in to see it and they would not even let you take a picture. I snuck one in anyways. His hands appear extremely big and other certain areas do not appear as big as i think is normal. The details of the statue is amazing though. You can see the veins and tendons in certain areas outlined in the body.

That night we hung out with the girls we met in the Cinque Terra with all of their friends from their school group. It was really fun getting to know some new people and some cool guys as well. We got some 1 euro gelato with them that was really good. Overall our trip to Florence was really great. Oh ya me and Tim bought some authentic leather wallets while here and I also got a soccer jersey that i cant wait to where. I would update you all about Venice but it is late and i am tired so we will have to do that another time. And we can add mre pictures to this too. I cant find them right now.
