Florence, Italy

We drove on Wednesday to Florence Italy from Venice Italy. When we arrived, we dropped off our baggage at the hotel, ate a quick lunch, rushed to The Duke's Palace Museum and stood in line for 2.75 hours. Then toured the Museum, while taking notes from our Professor Lecturing about the Art there. Then on Tuesday we did three Museums (WAY TO MUCH in my opinion!!!). Then we had free time. We tried to fit in a fourth but thankfully it had closed. So we did it the next morning instead.  Here are some pictures from Florence Italy.

 

Dinner our first night in Florence, NO I am NOT drinking wine or any alcoholic drink, I am drinking Cola in a fancy glass

 

This is NOT an Alcoholic Drink either, it is a lemon sherbert in another fancy glass

 

Lots of Arches

 

The HUGE cathedral in Florence

You could also rent a horse and carriage in Florence, once again I didn't have enough time sadly

Me in a museum in Florence

 

Another picture of me in the Museum, this Museum was supposed to have the original bronze doors, with the Biblical stories illustrated on them,from The Baptistry in it, but they were being restored so we still couldn't see them

 

The Pieta, that Michael Angelo was creating to go over his tomb, but destroyed because of a flaw in it, he broke off the leg, arm, and other parts, but one of his students finished it after Michael Angelo died. This is not the one in Rome. Same Name, Same Carver, Different Statue

 

Mary Magdalene, out of wood

 

The Famous Bridge in Florence with the houses right on the bridge, you cans see the water and other bridges on the left side of the photo behind all the people
