- Days 7 & 8 -
We love Florence! Definitely need to revisit this beautiful city. As with Venice, there is so much to see and to learn about but just not enough time to take it all in. Excited that we got to see the highlights including the Uffizi and the Academia. David is impressive - his perfection is staggering and to think that he is carved out of a solid piece of marble.
When in Florence . . . we had to have Florentine Steak. Our guide steered us in the right direction and we were impressed with the size of the steak that was served - delizioso!
We have a bridge in our hometown of St. Augustine, FL known as the Bridge of Lions. At the base of the bridge are a pair of white marble Medici lions welcoming visitors. We didn't know it at the time of our visit, but they were sculpted in Florence.
It was exciting to the originals!
