Firenze

Why Did I Come??

Firenze from Piazelle Michelangelo
When you think of Italy...Florence is probably on the list, right? I hope so. This was the last city in our tour. By this city I was pretty home sick from my first trip. It was a very laid back city. It doesn't have the bustle that Rome or Venice has (at least the places I was). I enjoyed the tranquility and the art.

My Favorite Part

I think my favorite part was when I finally got familiar with the people I was touring with and the people in Italy. My aunt was not feeling well so I joined some other girls in our tour and we had a few drinks in the hotel's bar. We met some men who we got to talk to about their lives and schooling. It was a good night out. I finally felt myself adapting into the Italian culture.
David's Twin

Surprise Attraction

I think the biggest surprise for me was the David statue. I never knew it was so big. I also admit before seeing it I never knew it was based on the biblical story. (I know...I worry about myself too!) Do NOT miss this statue. You will understand after you see it and experience it.

*This picture is one of the copies that stands in Florence. You can't really take pictures of the actual statue.

Pros:"Shopping!!, David, laid back atmosphere"
Cons:"Compared to Rome and Venice...eh"
In A Nutshell:"David's Home..."
