Florence

We've had a great time exploring the little flower, Florence. From the sunset behind the Ponte Vechio (old bridge) to Michelangelo's David, this City is full of great sights. Today we did three different tours, run by the same company. One was a walking tour, the second a tour of the Uffizi museum and the third a David tour. The tours get you into the museum without waiting in line, and gave us a good city introduction.

I can't upload photos tonight, but will try tomorrow from Venice. We had some great food here, and some mediocre food. Rick Steve's recommendations have been great so far.

My favorite sights: David. 17 feet tall, not proportioned totally correctly but impressive detail and powerful. Tiztian's Venus. We got a print to go somewhere in our place. Sunset on the Duomo and Ponte Vechio.

Tomorrow we head for Venice. Three nights there.
