Florence

We got to Florence and the first day we decided to go see Michelangelo’s house and the church were him and Dante Alighieri was buried.  Lizzy has the pictures of Michelangelo’s house so those will come up shortly.  The tombs where really cool, just to think that there decaying bodies are right there only a few yards away.

That day I also dragged Lizzy up to a look out that over looks all of Florence.  I added a picture of all the stairs she had to climb, in her defence she was a bit sick with a dry throat.  In the end though it was well worth the trip.  I will be working on a panoramic of Florence when I get home.  There was also 2 weddings at the look out, well at least 2 sets of just married couples.  I got some photos of the one couple getting in to their car.

We also had some gelato at what is known as the worlds best gelato place  Vivoli.  It is really good.  Sorry Leopold’s  (in Savannah) but you just got served.  The Don Giovonni poster is just a poster I thought was cool of an opera playing at the old Midici house and I also had to add the I love Ketchup grafitti for Bridgette.

Ooooh and I can’t forget that we also got to see the real statue of David.  No pictures where allowed but we snuck some anyways.  It really is amazing to look up at it down a long hall and walk right up to it after you have been studying works like this for so long.  The other pics are pics around Venice, houses on the famous old bridge and a night shot out of the window of our hostel.
