Firenze, Day 4

I just realized I completely forgot to write a post about Florence. We took a day to visit some of the missionaries in Florence and tour the city. It was SO exhausting, and beautiful, and fun! :) Here are some pics from our day in Firenze:

Cool thing we did: We had the opportunity to go to the Galleria del'Accademia where Michaelangelo's David statue is. Probably one of the most incredible, amazing things I have ever seen!!! The picture above is actually a copy of the original put in the David's original space, in Piazza della Signoria. Too bad I couldn't take a picture of the real David, because it was incredible. So, if you want to see it, you're just gonna have to make a trip to Florence. :) The Accademia also holds Giambologna's Rape of the Sabines, and Botticelli's Madonna and Child & Madonna and the Sea. One of the coolest experiences ever.

On our arrival to Bologna from Florence, John decided to take a bet and take a dip in the pond. It was really cold. And he fell in. Hilarious. :)
Our team in front of the hotel on our last night. Sad to leave.
