Later on we ended up at the museum that housed the David. This was a huge marble sculpture that just took your breath away.

I got myself one that ties in the back, a black one on a stick, and my best friend one. But the day was still not over after that. This was the night of the Euro Cups finals. It was between Spain and Italy. People were running around, screaming out the windows, it was crazy. In the end, Spain won, but it was still fun to say that I was in Italy during the Euro Cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we had to opportunity to go to Florence.
