Florence

I've been in Florence for a full day now. The city itself is a lot cleaner than Rome, but I can't really say the same for my hostel.

So far I've explored some of the cities museums and churches. All of the lines are pretty short except for the Cathedral di Santa Maria Fiore, Galleria dell'Accademia (where the statue of David is), and the Galleria degli Uffzi. My plan is to hit all of these hot spots tomorrow and spend my day standing in lines.

Today I visited Palazzo Vecchio and admired some art of Florence. There were a few other museums that had shorter lines that I went to, but they aren't really worth mentioning. I also took a free walking tour of the city and learned about the city's vast history.

Window shopping is a great way to pass the time as you walk from place to place. The streets are lined with designer stores like Gucci and Prada. The bridge Ponte Vecchio is also a great place to walk. It is one of the oldest bridges and is full of shops.

Sorry for no pictures, my phone was dead today. I did take some on my camera but I can't upload those until I get back to the States.

Until Venice,
