Listen to this.
Or this, if you want a bit more culture.
Then, watch this.
Florence is one of the most beautiful cities i've ever visited. After a long car ride from Rome, Claire and i made our way to the Arno river to read for a few hours while dad visited a museum (Claire and i were in need of a break after getting lost in the Vatican museum for four hours, a story for another time). I've come to realize that for me the best way to spend in Europe is on the bank of a river. We watched teenage boys training for crew and two old men who punted along. We wondered why we were the only non-Italians there. It wasn't until we left that we realized we were accidentally trespassing, but the woman who owned the land was nice and helped us get out of the locked gate.
Today we went to the Duomo cathedral with dad and then went to see the David. Claire and got yelled at by some gypsies whose picture i took. Scary. We got outta there fast. We also went to the Lindt store to eat some chocolate before getting lunch at McDonalds. After a week of only italian food, we were so happy. Dad, however, refused to order anything. His loss i guess.
Tomorrow we're off to the Tuscan countryside (Sienna and Pisa)...and then...Paris!!!!!
