And again, from a different point of view.

Michelangelo's David, photographed from the least scandalous angle.

View from the oldest bridge in Italy, which was built in 1345.

Pitti Palace. I have to say, I was quite dissapointed with this. It was kind of a sad excuse for a palace; it kind of looked like a giant highschool or something.

Yum, dark chocolate, caramel, and coffee. It's like Starbucks in a cone!

Michelangelo's David, again. This time he's a greenish colour! David is kind of like the crown jewels in the UK--he is everywhere.

This is Florence!
Crazy restaurant with a giant swordfish in the window!

Florence was amazing--it's a beautiful city, the gelato is delicious, and the shopping is awesome.
Dear Leaning Tower,
see you tomorrow!

I am off to Pisa.
