Florence, Italy


The city of Michelangelo's David. Florence was a very pleasant city rich in history, art, and florentine pride. In case you didn't know it is also home to Michelangelo's David and I would guess that there is at least one store on every street with the name David in the title. I really enjoyed walking around the city and seeing it's beautiful white, green and pink marbled Duomo, complete with the third largest dome in Europe, as well the unique bridge called Ponte Vecchio full of Jewelry stores from end to end. While there I saw many famous sculptures or replicas of famous sculptures and also enjoyed a couple hours of looking and learning in the Science museum full of one of a kind antique instruments for astrological measurements and viewing including a jar with the finger of Galileo himself!
