Last weekend was our first weekend trip as a whole group. Our destination: Florence! ...or Firenze if you're Italian. It was quite fun if I do say so myself. We got to see a lot of Renaissance art because, after all Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance. The most impressive thing I saw was the Statue of David. It was surreal to see it in real life; to see how much life a block of sculpted stone can have was truly impressive! I tell you what, that Michelangelo was one talented guy. I also really enjoyed the food there. There was this great pizza place I got lunch at, every day! And I finally got to try Bistecca alla Fiorentina, a steak special to Florence. So. Good. Hiking up the bell tower, seeing the Cathedral of Florence, and everything else made for a great weekend away!
