Florence

Florence was great. I only spent one cold, slightly snowy day there in 2005, so I'm glad I had another opportunity to see the city. Unfortunately, it rained much of the time we were there, but we were still able to see some amazing things including the duomo and David (in the Accademia). By the way, it just happened to be National Museum free week while we were there, so we managed to get into the Accademia and the Ufizzi for FREE.



Me working on our painting. Greg painted half, and I painted the other half. It's an abstract masterpiece!

We were trying to find the Ufizzi Gallery when we saw a plaza with a large square of white plastic, paint brushes, and buckets of paint. So of course we joined in.



The finished street art project. We had completely forgotten about the project, but happened to walk by it on the way back to the hostel. I'm glad we did as we were able to see what had become of the blank "canvas." Almost every inch was covered and there were still people trying to write their message or draw their picture.
