I'm in the beautiful city of Fiorenzia or Florence in English. Great thing about this city is that it's flat and not very big! It's like wondering around a Hollywood backlot because it's so small.
This morning we took a tour called "The Best of Florence." Our tour guide, Francesca, is a native of Florence (or so she claims) who very enthusiastically took us around the city. Highlights of the tour included going into the more historical duomos (that's churches to us English speakers) and we got to see THE David by Michelangelo. Very awe inspiring to see the original David. I must say though that he is as large as the replica @ Caesar's Palace in Vegas!
One more thing about the David, the people around here are obsessed with his...ummmmmm...his...his "junk!" there are postcards, mini sculptures, aprons, t-shirts, and boxer shorts of David's junk!! WTF?!?! I know this is allegedly Michelangelo's most perfect sculpture, so doe that mean that David's junk is THE most perfect junk?!?! Just food for thought.
Ok gotta go! We're off to the Science Museum to see Galileo's finger. Which finger? I dunno, but I'm gonna find out! TTFN!!!
