So Friday was quite the day.
Like I said, I was heading off to the Duomo and other touristy things for the day. I met up with Jacque, Tori, and Catherine and we went into the Duomo and climbed the Cupola. The painting inside the Duomo is intense. We got to see it right up close. I put pictures on Facebook. The view was breath taking from up there. There is no other way to explain it. We spent a good half hour just standing up there staring out and proclaiming that we were "The King of the World!" to mock Jack from Titanic.
We then decided to get some lunch and head to the Uffizi to see the David, specifically. So we get halfway through the Uffizi, run into Rach who then proceeds to inform us that the David is in fact in the Academia and not the Uffizi. It was a really, really, intense moment. I wanted to fall to the ground laughing but I probably would have been kicked out.
Anyhow, Jacque and I still decided to make a try for it at the Academia and failed because it was closed already. Oh well, I live here - I can go whenever.
Went home, had another great dinner then Skyped with mom and Mickey.
Went to Ravenna today. It was okay. I wasn't honestly that impressed. Just a lot of old mosaics. Is it bad that I'm so desensitized to old stuff now?
Well, I'm waiting for the first years to get back from Siena then I'm doing dinner with them.
Corri di Vita Breast Cancer Walk tomorrow and then a wine tasting festival!
Spero che tutti a posto!
