We arrived in Florence today at 6am had breakfast then waited til 8:30 which is when places started opening.  We climbed the 400 steps of the Tower of the Duomo to get a magnificent view of the city.  After that we went to the baptistery.  Then we visited the first of three museums of the day.  The first museum was for sculptures from the Duomo.

Next we went to the Galleria dell Accademia to see Michealangelos David.  It was much larger than I was expecting and it was my favorite thing Ive seen so far.  After that we checked in to our hostel and had lunch.  We then went to the Galleria degli Uffizi which has the largest collection of Italian paintings.  At this point I had spent enough time in museums for the day.
