Italy Day 10

More Florence! I'm so glad that we decided to stay another day in Florence. Today we spent the day touring some churches. First was the Duomo.




Skyler really likes this picture of me. Not too flattering, but you can see my love for gelato. We found this place called Grom, which claims it uses only natural ingredients for its gelato. It tasted good and that's all that mattered to me! We went here twice today.


This is the home of Michelangelo Buonaproti. We didn't go inside because we heard there's not too much to see. Obviously, all of his famous work is in churches and museums.


We visited Santa Croce church, which has the tombs of many famous people including Michelangelo, Galileo, and Dante.




This is my favorite moment in Italy. I can't tell you why, but it was just special to me. I will never forget it.


That night, we planned our final biking day. This is how we normally planned our routes. We spread out our large fold-out map on a table and looked for the easiest roads. The skinnier the road, the better for us.


Again, look at this view! From our campground! Amazing!!!
