Italy Trip - Day 5

On Day 5, we left Rome for Florence which I believe was a 5-6 hour bus ride. Grandma and I were rather exhausted by this point in the trip and ended up doing some shopping while looking around the sights in Florence.

El Duomo-- this was Grandma's favorite looking church

Fountain of Neptune in the Piazza Signoria

Replica of David. There was a large line to see the real one from Michelangelo.

Perseus holding Medusa's head in the Piazza

We just saw this while walking. It looked awesome.


After sightseeing and shopping, we went to a Tuscan dinner with our tour group. It was definitely the best meal and we had a lot of fun...it was also all you can drink wine. The strawberry wine was DELICIOUS!

Pre-dinner drink. It was peach flavored.

Not a very good photo. The meat was on fire, but it didn't really translate.
