First item of business: buy wanna-be Italian shades outside of train station
Second item of business: FOOD!!!
These are the awesome seats we found in a piazza where there were preparations for a concert. We were right in the front and waiting a good 2-3 hours for the event to start!
This is the one song that was sung by the one choir. After followed one speaker who spoke of the mafia and terrorism. Then another. Then another...all the while hoping maybe the next up would be another musical number...but after the fourth speaker, we realized...this wasn't a concert...
Fortunately, we stumbled upon this church that was playing incredible organ music! This one's for you Dad!
The Gates of Paradise
Outside the Duomo
On the way up the Duomo. This was one of the only straight passages. The rest was a corkscrew that made me a smidge dizzy
414 stairs later...this was waiting for us!
The Champions!
Inside the Duomo
Good-bye Florence...
On to Rome...
