Day 10: Florence
... We watched some kids run into a creperie and decided it was time for Mom to try her first Nutella crepe. They are so gooey and chocolatey and sweetly delicious. Once we were in Santa Croce, we only had a little time, so went straight to the Masters' tombs. I can't explain the absolute disbelief and surrealty of standing in front of the spot where Galileo, Michelangelo and Dante rest. I mean, you're literally 10 feet from the father of modern astronomy, the painter of the ...
Day 5 &6

We ate dinner and watched the sun set over the city. The view was incredible and it was a perfect way to end the last night with our roommates.

Commuter Trains and Science Museum
... It was cool to learn that the theories used in Galileo's time were still taught today, and we were seeing the original instruments, models, apparatus and diagrams used in the past. In each room there were videos that described and demonstrated the theories and models in the room. They were very helpful and informative for me to understand! My favourite theory/model was acceleration; an inclined plane measuring the time it ...
