We drove into the city that night looking for an internet café and a nice walk. It was a Saturday night and to our surprise ...

... then went out with them afterwards for some gelato. I was leading them to the place that I heard was the best gelato in the city when we crossed the street and were looking up at the Duomo. They were shocked and thought it was so amazing and I realized that they had not seen it during their only day of sight-seeing in Florence! They had gone the wrong way out of the hostel and had seen nothing all day and thought that Florence sucked! I couldn't let them ...
