FLORENCE
After two nights in Siena, the four of us went to Florence. We stayed in an apartment out of the way of tourists, right outside the city. We spent the 4th of July at the Uffizi Museum-it was a little overwhelming but incredible to see so much famous art in one place. Florence has been dubbed by many as the most beautiful city in the world and it’s not hard to see why. Duomos, cathedrals and century-old mosaics dot the street corners like Starbucks in Seattle. We took a day trip to Lucca to see the Dave Matthews Band perform. We somehow worked our way up to the front row-words can’t describe this experience. It got us really excited for the Gorge. For our last night, we went to dinner at a little place where we had gone with Beth and Danielle about a month before called Nell’s. It was the best food in Florence. On our final day in Florence, we saw Michaelangelo’s David and the Duomo. In the evening, we took a train to our final stop in Italy, Venice.
