Today we took a trip to Florence. The first big thing we saw was Florence Cathedral.<\/p>\n

Then we went to two of the city\u2019s many museums\u2014the Uffizi museum, and the Accademia Gallery. The Uffizi Museum was originally made for the offices of the magistrates, but even when they were first completed the Medici family used the third and fourth floor to house some of the most valuable pieces of their art collection. The Accademia museum houses Michelangelo\u2019s famous David, as well as many of his other works and some from a few other artists. But, I\u2019m pretty sure most people really just come to see the David\u2014where they had recently permitted no-flash pictures to be taken.<\/p>\n

Afterwards we were allowed to look around the market and buy stuff if we wanted (and of course had the Euro). I listened to Mr. Hesting and saved my Euro for Florence and after. I picked up a manual wind-up watch with a leather strap for \u20ac10,00; a leather-bound book for \u20ac15,00; a wide leather bracelet for \u20ac7,00; and a hat for \u20ac9,00 (I think).<\/p>\n
