Day 10: Florence
... and the writer of the Divine Comedy. Come ON!! I geeked out a bit. Not to mention, the cathedral itself was stunning, as we the cloisters and courtyard outside. We headed back to the apartment and Mom cooked us a fantastic pot roast with potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, onions, and a salad.

I was pretty stoked that my ...

... best were the so called 'Prisoners'. Michelangelo once said he was not creating the statues, but freeing them from inside the marble blocks he worked on. One part of the Accademia consists of several unfinished sculptures. The blocks with partially completed sculptures, in fact, look like people being freed from their prisons of marble.
