Florence and promptly found our hotel. It's in a very old looking
building and we had to climb 3 flights to check in but our room us
spacious and airy but unfortunatlt has a bidet but no toilet, we have
to walk down the hall.
We discovered that the only way to see the inside of the famous
Brunelleschi Duomo right now is to climb it. So, 423 steps later we
got our view, we were so close we could have touched the painting. In
the includef picture you can see the interior of the dome. I was
amazed at the vibrant colors and the detail portrayed in each scene.
Then we went to the outside of the dome for an amazing 360 view of
Florence and Tuscany. Pictures from this are amazing, you'll see. The
hike was totally worth the effort now, tomorrow morning we may feel
differently. Now we earned some gelato.
PS from Sara-I have claustrophobia and Mom has a history of cluziness
in foreign countries so I'm quite proud of us for making it through
856 steps! I'll send the iPhone pics if to my Flickr if you want to
see them.
