May 31,2012 Florence

We headed out to Florence this morning intending to see the real David.That is Michelangelo's David.You need to get your tickets to go to the Academia and or you'll be standing in a long line to see if you can get in.You are assigned a time and if you have your tickets you can by pass the long lines.We bought our tickets at the Orsanmichele church ticket window and no line at all.Oh yes we got to see David although Sam wasn't that excited I was as this is one of the things I wanted to see.The statue is huge and very real looking.What a sculpture.Wow. We stolled around the town and went to see the Duomo.Very large and intersting on the outside but very dull on the inside.We saw the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge with all its shops.Florence has many museums and we were museumed out so we pretty much walked around  and also went to the market were they sell lots of leather coats,purses,shoes and lots of other things.I guess we have been worn out when it comes to the big cities so we will move on tomorrow.
