Rome, 2005 --- Side trip to Florence
Last Updated: July 8, 2005
We took a day trip by tour bus to Florence. The tour took us
to Piazzale Michelangelo, an outlook over Florence;
to the Accademia, which has Michelangelo's statue of David (no
pictures allowed in the museum);
in to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore;
to lunch;
by the Palazzo Vecchio, where David was originally located;
and gave us a small amount of free time near the Church of Santa
Croce. You will
see a lot of copies of the statue of David while you are in
Florence.
A day tour is too short to see all of the interesting
sights in Florence, but we're glad we went.
