Florence

In Florence, after the fateful night having the ravioli, I did not feel very well for quite a while. In fact, that sickness last till the very last day of the trip, exacerbated by a French dinner in Paris (another story). Nevertheless I managed to have some fun immersing myself in Florence. Florence is small but extremely picturesque. We visited the monstrous Duomo (according to Wikipedia, 600 years after its completion, the dome is still the largest dome built in brick and mortar in the world), Piazza della Signoria, Accademia de’ll Arte del Disegno which houses the most renowned statue in the world, Michelangelo’s David (visited the same day as the Ravioli day), the unique Ponte Vecchio famous for having shops built along it, and Piazzale Michelangelo which offers an unparallel view of Florence due to its distance and elevation.
