When you are in Florence, you see things that are very different to what a lot of people are used to, like when you are driving down the road, there will be a street with really big stores, and on other streets there are a lot of little bitty stores, that are all really close to each other. That was not the most interesting thing about Florence, there was one really cool museum that used to be a house where the de Medici family lived, it had all of these really cool rooms and there was one secret room that had a door that was disguised as a map on the wall. In that room, the group that we were having a tour with, got to dress up like people would dress when the de Medici’s lived in that house (the mid evil times). There was also a giant vineyard, by the house that we where staying in. The food in Florence was pretty good, we ate a lot of spaghetti. Last, but not least, the swimming pools, at the swimming pools there were a lot of rules that did not apply, like wearing a swim cap, you have to wear a swim cap if you are in the water, there were also rules that did not apply in Florence, and did apply in Austin, like running and diving. These were all of the coolest things from Florence.

Miss Nadine did you get to see “David”? Did you climb to the top of the El Doumo?

Mid evil might be the best way to describe those times!
