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 ...

The lady knew ...
A day trip to San Gimignano
... Originally there were 72 built by families to show their power and wealth (honestly tall towers to show your power and wealth… seems kind of obvious… ;)). Now there are only 13 towers left standing (I think it’s 13!). Anyway, the village is beautiful.
