Florence and Siena
December 6, 2008 We are now on Day 5 of our Italian adventure, and I have only seen wonderful things so far. Some of the sights that have been impressive to me include "The David," Galileo's tomb, the beautiful churches, and the magnificent buildings and landscapes. We have also had many great memories along the way including seeing the Elvis impersonator, eating great food, and climbing 400+ stairs to find a view that you will remember for a lifetime.It has also been interesting watching the Italian people and seeing how they act and especially the way they dress. They dress as though they are all movie stars. The people are also a lot more laid back here. I really like their pace of life, but sometimes I wish we could have our speed of living here (especially when we are waiting for checks). :)
We are leaving for Cortona tomorrow. I am ready to explore a new city, but I will definitely miss Florence. It has been a wonderful city to start my world travel in, and I am glad that we have had a nice place to stay at the convent.
