Florence!

So yesterday was my favorite day on this trip so far. Regina and I traveled, very early in the morning to Florence, the city of Michelangelo and leather.

We woke up at 6 am to catch the 6:30 bus to the train station. We proceeded to wait forever for the 8:22 train to Florence (the train schedule was different than we were told). On said train we got to sit on terrible seats and attempt to stay awake, which was hard because we kept going through tunnels. We finally arrived in Florence and got possible the most amazing and largest pizza of our trip.


Next we looked at the Duomo, one of the most beautufiul marble churches in the world.

After the duomo we decided to go to the Galleria dell'Academia which is the museum that houses David, the famous statue by Michelangelo. We went through an exhibit of Lorenzo Bartolini which was beautiful. He was a great sculptor as well and had so many works. I'm so impressed by all the sculptors because I could never do what they do. They should all have museums.
