Day 10: Florence
... Michelangelo, which is on the top of a hill and overlooks the entirety of Florence across the river. My God, was it beautiful. Not only could we see the whole city, but also tumbling Tuscan hills with Cyprus trees and an old city wall unrolling into the distance. Not a bad couple of hours to spend in the afternoon. The hike up to Piazzale Michelangelo was strenuous, so we took our time coming back down the hill and across the river on our way to Santa Croce, a cathedral that houses ...
Vexing Vespas
... back to the hotel, the streets are now mysteriously empty. We can't quite figure it out. Everyone in Poggibonsi was out an hour and a half ago (all 5000 of them) and now they have disappeared, we know not where. At least tonight we are not going to bed exhausted by walking all day, which might be a small pity since the exhaust fans that run in the bathroom for about fifteen minutes after you go in there are audible throughout the whole hotel, everyone!s Makes for an interesting nights ...

Outside we find other interesting sights as there are professional models ...
Homework Here Can Be Pretty Cool

For my Michelangelo art history class, we have an assignment where we were to go to one of three churches listed on our assignment pick a specific painting in the church to look at, study, and take notes on. Then we are supposed to write ...
Firenze from top to bottom
... original bronze doors from the Baptistery are there...but alas, they are undergoing restoration right now so the copies have to do. The museum does not disappoint however. Again under the tutelage of good old Rick Steves we made our way from room to room, our group of seven clustering around to hear the story behind the highlights from each collection. It helped that the items were quite diverse, this held the boys interest better than room ...
