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.

Two flights in with now a substantial number of people surging in behind us on the extremely narrow just enough width for one person stone staircase of ...
Florence
... ole mumbling around the city which led us over a bridge to a gorgeous view of the city. From there we joined a free tour of the city that focused on the Medici's influence on the city. As a brief history lesson, the Medici were THE family in Florence and had a lot to do with the developing of the architecture and art in the city.
