\"104_0971\"<\/a>We woke up extra early this morning in order to catch a bus to the high speed train station.\u00a0 The bullet train made quick work of the long voyage through the countryside to Florence. As we arrived, the first thing we same was the Duomo, or the Florence Cathedral. This is probably the tallest dome I have ever seen and will see. It holds mass in the mornings until 1:30 and is a historical building for people to worship in. As we traveled we saw a bunch of different religious places of worship and the Statue of David. This statue is enormous and produces an entire Christin story in one statue.<\/p>\n

The second part of the day was spent shopping in the streets of Florence. The vendors will literally follow you throughout the entire market saying \u201cmy friend come back\u201d. All different people from all over the world had set up their stalls and were pushing product to the tourists. We stopped at a specific leather shop where a guy named Giovanni was selling the best leather on the street. The kind of quality that you would find almost nowhere else. I haggled with him a bit and finally got my mom a purse that she was looking for. Only cost me 100 euros but since she sent me to Italy I think she earned it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
