Florence, Italy

Florence was by far is our favorite!!! I loved the beautiful colors used to decorate the buildings...one huge church was decorated completley by green, red, and white marble on the exterior!!! We stayed in a beautiful venician hostle in the forest which reminded me of Sedona, Arizona...it must have been a former family mansion or university....Waited in a hot line for two hours to see The David statue...(yes its huge but the recreation in Vegas is just as nice...and I think it is amusing that they would make David to be so masculine when in reality he was a weakling using the Power of God...but he was really nice to look at...

We mountain biked in the Tuscan mountains for 15 miles and ate at a delicous restaurant then toured an Italian vineyard and tasted fresh white wine and extra virgin olive oil...
