Ciao from Firenze!

So Firenze, aka Florence, was such an amazing city. I prefer to show you with some pictures instead of trying to describe it all, because it would be impossible! The main spots we hit were the San Miniato Al Monte which is a cathedral at the top of a hill in Florence. It has beautiful views of the city and is also beautiful on the inside. I took tons of pictures and we spent about 2 hours there sketching. I have to admit, I'm getting a tad bit better than my first day.. which was really terrible! Then we went over to The Doumo and the Cathedral which are amazing buildings that are right in downtown Florence. I don't think I've ever seen something that massive in both height and area. We went to the top of the Doumo which is a huge dome that is one of the tallest points in the city. It was another amazing view and we spent a lot of time up there just sitting in the shade and enjoying the breeze. The only drawback was that the food was kind of pricey. And apparently there is a heat wave in Italy right now so it is wayy hot. Oh, and the tourist. There were a lot and they were very annoying! So I guess a few drawbacks, but wonderful none the less. Now to the pictures!! Ciao!
