Days 11 and 12: Pisa, Florence and Rome
... so we stayed in while Tom and Mom went to the Uffizi and Dad went to a market. We all went out to a dinner that was FANTASTIC, and possibly had too much wine. Afterward, Tom bought some Absinthe for a party back at our place, and we all drank and played music and sang and had so much fun! We laughed a whole lot! Today, we spent most of the day in transit from Florence to Rome, with a 1-hour train delay to boot. But when we got in, Julie and ...
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.

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 ...

She asked me where my car was as if it was pure craziness that it wasn't there with me in seven foot wide alleyway, and I explained to her my situation. We both walked back to the car together ...
Firenze
... rushed by the people behind us! The Duomo on the inside is actually one of the most insane works of art I've ever seen. I didn't know much about it before, actually didn't know anything about it, but instantly anyone can figure it out. They were depicting their views of Heaven and Hell. Heaven included angels and Jesus, while Hell had allll types of monsters and demons. How someone painted that, like sculpting the David, is beyond me. Mad props going out to them ...
