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 ...

... were playing together on the sidewalk and a group of little boys were playing a soccer game. It was really fun to see.
I went a little picture crazy and got a lot of really cool ones. I loved all of the gondola drivers dressed in their matching uniforms. I even got a picture with the gondola driver on our 30-second gondola ride to the other side of the canal! I definitely left Venice knowing that I would be back some day. It’s such a neat and different part of ...
