Love Italy!!

These last couple of days has been spent well !!!!!After we got of the train from Venice to Florence,we  got in our rental car .(Not a good sign )We drove to a place called San Gigimano .This is a town on top of a hill.Literally !This town was a popular in the Medieval  ages. We drove in to the town (no one can park in town)and found a parking lot outside of town and hauled all of our baggage up the hill to our hotel.(Our hotel happened to be next to the World Champion Gelato  makers!!! )We settled in and walked around town .The next day my mother and I shopped .The boys hung around dad until they got bored .They played hide and got seek around the city.They told us about it at lunch.Dad and I decided to join in! It was so fun !The  next  we took our rental car and drove to Pisa .This is a small town with a big kick! Listen to the word. P-I-S-A .The Leaning Tower of Pisa! we walked up the Leaning Tower of  Pisa! All the way ! That was our last day in San Gigimano.In the morning we drove back to Florence to stay there for a week !We got there and stayed in until dinner.Florence is where all of the greats studied ! Micheal Angelo,Galileo,and more!We wok up and went to a cooking class so fun we made home made pasta !Fun !There is a famous statue. His name is David!The boy who beat Goliath with a stone. This is a sculpture by Micheal Angelo .We went and saw him ,it was fun ! The next day we went to the Duomo Church!We went to the Ufftiz ! Saw the Birth of Venus! The last day we did an art class with a former Disney animator . It was so fun!I love Florence and hope to go back !Now we are going to Rome! See you at the Collosseum!
