We waited an hour in line to see the statue of David. Ended up eating McD's while waiting in line. Felt kinda gross after that. I took a few photos of David on my cell phone.

Then took a nice hike up a "little" hill to see an awesome view of Firenze.

Fortunately we took an early train back and got in around 23h30. I had barely spoken French the past two days. In fact, I had barely spoken. But I sure did hear a lot of Spanish. I can now tell the difference between Argentinian Spanish and Spanish from Spain.

Firenze, Italy: Day 1

The Argentinians and I went to Firenze, Italy today. We got up at 5h30 to catch the train. Didn't get in until around 16h00 but it's all good. This is going to be more of a picture post.

6h00 walking to the train station with Mati, Lucas, and Mia.

It was amazing to see how many Americans were traveling here. And it was also amazing to see how 99% of them didn't even try to speak Italian. Anywhere. Not even a Bonjourno or Grazie.
