We only had one day in Florence and had to get everything done. When we arrived at our hostel we were told that since it was Monday all of the museums would be closed and probably most markets. BUMMER!! The whole point of going to Florence is to see the David!
So in the morning we went to see the Duomo. The outside was awesome it was pastel green, pink and white ( I have to wonder if it used to be the italian flag colors and it has faded over time). Very Beautiful. We then saw the typical Florence sites such as Ponte Vecchio, Ponte Vecho, some more churchs and a lot of piazzas. In one of the piazzas my friend Jenny and I imitated the statues. We decided to get really creative and have four people imitate a big statue. We used an umbrella as a sword and it looked awesome! So many tourists thought it was cool and they were jealous of our coolness so they took pictures of us. I felt famous hahaha.
We hiked to the top of Michealangelo's Piazzle and saw the view from the top of Florence. It had been raining on and off again and there was a full rainbow over Florence...the city had the effect of looking like it was floating on clouds....so pretty.
NOTE: The next day we went to Cinque Terre and got back early so we were able to go into the Academy Gallery and see the David after all on Tuesday.
