Day 10: Florence
... of Michelangelo, Galileo, Niccolo Medicci and Dante, as well as works by Donatello. On our way there, we walked through a little alleyway where school children were being let out for the day and families were there picking them up (no one was in a car; everyone walked or rode bikes).

We got a nice little tour that took us to the Green Grotto and some different caves. There was one ...
Held Florence in my hands today
... our school buildings are mostly on, for some gelato and to walk around on this gorgeous day. This is by far our favorite gelato place yet because they had a Kit Kat flavor and you got three scoops for only 2 euro, which is a steal!!!
