Florence

So I got to florence at about 7:30 in the morning and sat around the train station for about an hour waiting for information to open so I could get a map of the city. I knew that I wouldn't have much time there and at this point I was pretty tired and frustrated of travel, but I had to go see what I could while I was there. It's not everyday your in Florence you know. So around 8:30 I began my wandering of the city, still with this stupid pack on my back, I was really getting sick of the pack. My first stop was the Duomo, a truly amazing catedral adn very different from the old stone catherdrals I have been used to seeing, I think it was my favorite so far. I then ehaded down to the river and wandered around in no particular direction. I then headed up to the Michalangelo park which is way up on a hill overlooking the city. I must say that the view is much more spectacular than the statue of the naked man. I'm sorry to those art lovers who read this, though they may have decided to have stopped reading after the last sentence anyway. So we'll continue. I then headed back down got lunch and some much needed strong italian expresso and went on my way in no particular direction. I walked a lot and saw a lot of things, but it was a very quick and sleep deprived tour, so I really don't have to much to say. It is a beautiful city and I would love to go back and really be able to appreciate the art and the city. But unfortunatly this visit wasn't great. So at 4 I caught the bus to the Piso airport and flew off to Sardinia to meet Simo!
