All I can say is WOW. I really had a great time in Florence this weekend. I learned that I like it better in Genoa but I still had a wonderful time. I like Genoa better because it has fewer tourists. Genoa allows me to use the Italian skills I am learning but there are so many things to do in Florence!
First we went to the Galleria degli Uffizi. It was beautiful. There were so many exhibits I don’t even think I saw them all. My favorite part was the ceiling. The whole thing was painted illustrating different ancient stories of gods, as well as other things. Unfortunately, pictures weren’t allowed, so I don’t have any.
Next we climbed the steps of the dome in Florence’s cathedral. There are a total of 463 steps. I thought I would die before I reached the top, but the view made the climb so worth it.
