Florence!

Ciao! We're in Florence, Italy. Yesterday we saw the Duomo, the fake statue of the David, the Ponto Vecchio, the Pitti palace and the Boboli gardens. We ate pizza, pasta, and gelato, we're doing it all! Today we went on a day trip to Pisa with some other American kids we met at our hostel,and we took about a million photos in front of the leaning tower. It's about an hour from Florence on the train. When we got back to Florence, nancy and I hiked 413 steps up to the top of the bell tower next to the Duomo and we could see the entire city and all the way to the mountains in every direction. I'll have lots of photos when I get home. Now off to dinner! Tomorrow afternoon, we're headed to Rome on the train!
