Florence

So Lindsay told the Venice portion of our Italy trip, so I get to tell the Florence portion.



We took the train from Venice on Monday morning and got to Florence in the early afternoon. Here's some of the sights we found on the way from the train station to our cute little B&B:


The Duomo


Ponte Vecchio


Mmm, pizza!

The next day we went to the Accademia where Michelangelo's David is kept. They don't allow pictures, but the sculpture is AMAZING! There are a couple of copies around town, so we got pictures of those:



This bronze one is at Piazza Michelangelo, which overlooks the city.



This one is by the Palazzo Vecchio.

We then went to the Uffizi Gallery (once again, no picture). We then hiked to the top of a hill to see a church and got these amazing photos of the city:





Such a beautiful city, plus the history present in the city! I'd love to make it back there sometime!

It looks so totally Italy. Hope you can give me a fuller commentary sometime.
