FLORENCE, ITALY (Day 2)

First stop: the Duomo, Florence's Cathedral





Next stop: the Uffizi Gallery, one of the world's greatest art museums. Much better pictures (than mine) can be found on the Uffizi site, but I wanted to post just a few pictures to remind me of some of my favorites:





Final stop: the Accademia Gallery to see Michelangelo's David.



I didn't realize that David is 17 feet tall! We definitely looked up to him.


It was definitely a thrill to see this and other magnificent art in the beautiful city of Florence.

On our last morning in Florence, we had just a little time to tour the Medici Chapel and to enjoy Michelangelo's creations there.
