Fantastic Florence

---

We explored the art and the beauty this Tuscan city had to offer in the small amount of time we had. We went to Galleria D'Accademia and saw the statue of 'David' and wandered around and in the Duomo Cathedral. Jarryd and Barbara spent a few hours amazed at the Italian Renaissance art in The Uffizzi Gallery, especially "the Birth of Venus" by Botticelli. We also took the open-top bus and leisurely toured around Florence and its surrounds. It was beautifully green and leafy in the hills. We had the best Italian meal at this small restaurant (recommended by a local) where the staff spoke no english- but the food was great and they loved Rachael.
