I arrived in Florence yesterday morning made sure I got off at the right Florence stop this time!! I found my place to stay hidden behind the vespas and market..Ignacio greeted me at the door..very nice and friendly guy! The place looked a bit scary though..walking up steps to get to it and even the door looks like a mental institution of some sort. I explored Florence yesterday..met a girl from texas who is studying here for 4 months...studying Design..today I visited the Uffizi Museum and I visit the Accademia later (home of Michaelangelos David)..right now..I am at an internet place waiting for my pics to download to CD..but I have to get going..tomorrow..I head out to Sienna!
Florence- a bit too crowded for me..
CONTINUING A DAY LATER.. Anyway..last time I emailed I was in Florence and was in a rush because I had to get to the Accademia..I made an appointment so that I wouldn't have to wait in the two hour line...so..I will continue from there...
I saw Michelangelos David..its actually pretty impressive and neat! You weren't suppose to take pics but I snapped a few!! Florence overall was kinda disappointing..I didn't think it was as great as some people have made it out to be..its extremely crowded and tour groups EVERYWHERE...Vespas ready to run you over and very expensive. I think i spoiled myself by going to Prague first where it was extremely beautiful and cheap!! I liked Florence, north of Point Vecchio though..it was much calmer and more village like..I hung out at a cafe there and just people watched for hours..it was nice to not walk for a few hours =). I stayed in Florence for 2 nights and then was off to Siena.
