Florence was a quick trip with my girl
Brenda! Our only goal was to see Michelangelo's Statue of David. Upon
stumbling (not really) through Florence, we encountered the
JAW-DROPPING, EYE-POPPING Duomo, or The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore.
It was amazing. I remember telling Brenda, "what is that? That has to
be something!" Never mind the dozens of tourists surrounding the
beautiful piece of architecture. It was like God painted a picture and
placed it in the middle of Florence. The picture still makes it look
surreal. Imagine it in person.
It was time to rome...but not in Rome this time lol.
Gelato! If it's there, I'm getting it. Obsession.
A kiss from Cupid! I believe there was relevance between Cupid and Florence but I do not recall (perks of writing blog posts over a year later).
And finally what we've all been waiting for, David! If I recall correctly, it cost 25 Euros to walk into this museum with David (a bit expensive when you consider how it costs to see other works). On top of that, we were not allowed to take pictures but managed to do so cunningly lol. There was no way you're making me pay so much money and I can't take a picture? Are you out of your mind! I need evidence that I was heah!
To end off the perfect day, we took in a classic lunch/dinner of a local restaurant by the Duomo. Pasta! Better yet Spaghetti as we Americans call it. I still remember how GOOD this one tasted.
If I'm ever in Italy for a long period of time again, I will definitely go out of my way to visit Florence. Beautiful place.
