Florence was amazing, we got to see the statue I'd David, which was very impressive. It's so huge that any pictures don't do it justice, you need to see it in person. I really wish would have had my sketching stuff because it would have been the prefect opportunity. There was so many people sitting around sketching him. It's such a famous statue that they have seismic activity detectors around it and on it because they don't want it to fall. They have quite in intense system. The detail in the statue is amazing, I don't know now someone could crave such a thing out of marble.
After we went to see David we hoped on a train and headed to Pisa for the rest of the day. We got to see the leaning tower of Pisa! So exciting! I'm going to sound like such a dumbass but I had no idea that the leaning tower of Pisa was so close to Florence. I am so glade that we got the chance to see it, it is so much cooler in person the pictures or tv. We were going to go to the top of the tower but it was way to expensive, not worth the money. However the huge basilica near the tower was free, it was beautiful, no matter how many churches we go into it never seizes to amaze me. It almost seems like they just keep getting more and more impressive. And of course we took our cheesy tourist photos of us "pushing" the tower over and thr other tipical jumping in front of it. The only downside to our visit was that it poured rain most of the time we were there. Was got so wet even though I was wearing a rain jacket which someone randomly stopped being water proof, I'm not quite sure how that works. I have never gotten wet wearing it before but I got drowned. While we were there we got some lunch and of course I had pasta, im telling you once I'm done in Italy I'm never going to want t eat pizza or pasta again.
While we were in Florence we needed up going to the Hard Rock Cafe, omg it dad so good! And we had no problems finding it! We've only tried to find three different hard rock cafes since we've been in Europe and have had no luck...but at last we finally found one, although I'm not sure it can be counted as much of an accomplishment because Florence the city really isn't that big.
More the come...hang tight!
