Today we spent a good six hours walking around Florence. We saw two of the David statues, walked into the Uffizi gallery, saw the Santa Maria del Fiore and the Duomo and also walked to the top of Florence- the Piazza del Michaelangelo. That was my favorite stop of the day- it was so gorgeous. It looks over all of Florence. And we definitely had a perfect day to be up there. There was bright blue skies and plenty of sun for us! We are tired though. It is sooooo exhausting to walk around all day. But thats okay. We are definitely getting used to it! This felt like our crazy Rome day. We just walked around and popped into whatever we thought was worth seeing. These cathedrals are amazing. You cant focus on the extravagant marble floor designs because you have to look up and see the crazy paintings on the ceilings. But then you have to turn to your right and left to see the statues on the sides! They are gorgeous. Its crazy to think about all the hours that go into building them.
Apparently there are usually three hour lines for the Uffizi, or you have to make reservations, but we stood in a ten minute line and got right in! We have been pretty lucky, dont you think. Oh side note- I cant make an apostrophe, question mark or parenthesis on this stupid keyboard... sorry about that. Its all weird and wont let me make them. Its totally bothering me.
Its also taking forever to load the pictures. I will get on later tonight to post some shots from the day. I need to go buy more minutes for my internet use. Check back in a couple hours to see pictures!
Love you all, Katy
"take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise. take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of thy love. take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for thee. take my voice, and let me sing always, only, Lord for thee."
