Saturday, April 2

Got into Florence around 8:30 this morning, and we saw SO much!! I also met the love of my life- raspberry gelato!! We started by getting some breakfast pastries in a little bakery. Nutella is everywhere in Europe! Yum! Then we went to Piazza del Duomo and explored the Cathedral and the Baptistry there. Then we went to Museo de Opera (it has sculptures, not opera) and then to Ponte Veccio, which is a bridge across the river Arno with tons of cool jewelry shops built right into the side of it. Then we walked around to a lot of different piazzas and cool buildings, like the Bargello Museum and Orsanmichele. Next we went back to the Duomo and climbed all the way to the top. The view was spectacular and worth every one of the 462 steps it took. Then we took a bus up to Piazza de Michaelangelo and watched the sun set on beautiful, historic Firenze.
