Florence is amazing! We have the biggest tourists and spent all day at
the museums... I even snuck in my camera when we weren't allowed!
The first thing we saw was Michelangelo's statue of David at the Accademia Gallery. It was so much bigger than I thought! I didn't know it was David from 'David and Goliath' until I saw that he was holding a sling.
After that we went to the Uffizi Gallery, filled with amazing paintings. My favorite was Botticelli's famous painting, "The Birth of Venus." It was so beautiful.
After touring the museums, we walked around and heard music coming out of the door of a building. When we walked inside, we found ourselves in the most beautiful church I have ever seen! It was dark except for the light that came in through the stained glass windows and dozens of candles burning all around inside the structure. It was really breathtaking! My mom is so dramatic -- she actually cried!
After we left the church we went for a carousel ride (so much fun) and just explored the local marketplace. There were so many people everywhere, it was great!
If you ever find yourself in Florence, here are my suggestions for the top five things you must do while you are there:

If you ever find yourself in Florence, here are my suggestions for the top five things you must do while you are there:
1. Visit the Uffizi and Accademia galleries (and fit in the Museum of San Marco, if you have more time)
2. Go to the opera!
3. Go chocolate and wine tasting in the nearby Tuscan countryside.
4. Take a bike tour of the city and stop off at the cathedrals, especially the famous Duomo church.
5. Take an Italian homemade pasta cooking class (yum!)

OMG. you went to Florence i was there too. and i find it AMAZING that you got a picture of "the David". i also agree with you that it is such an amazing placee!!!. unfortunately i wasnt able to see the inside of the duomo because i was sick the day of the tour with the group of people i came with. but i did stay at a hotel only blocks away from the duomo so i was always able to go look at the beauty of it everyday i was there. the pics you have of the view are great but i have even more amazing ones..not to brag.hehe. and according to your checklist.. i did basically everything. but i'm a huge fan of you and your family's show and i think you and Reggie make a CUTE COUPLE.. marraige and a big happy family. would work perfect for you two.
-lots of love from Keyarra

Hey Kim! I went there in 2002 and it was amazing. I'll never forget it! How did you manage a picture of the statue of David? When I went there were guards watching out every move. You're lucky to get one, I had to buy the museum book to get one. Im glad you enjoyed it. Italy is definitly a place everyone should experience at least once in their lives. Tell you mom don't worry she's not the only one who cried when walking into the churches there. I got teary eyed also. :)
