Italy

Our last night in Venice was amazing! We went out for pizza and gelato. After that, we headed to St. Mark's Square where we listened to an orchestra. Matt even asked me to dance, so we danced in the square. It was very romantic :)

From there we headed to Florence. The first thing we saw here was Michelangelo's David. It was better than either Matt or I had expected. (In addition to the David, we saw a small celebrity. The fiance to Pam on the Office--the one before Jim.) We then had a 2 hour dinner with our tour group, which is how dinner is done in Italy.

This morning we had some free time, so Matt and I ventured to the leaning tower of Pisa. We took the train and spent about an hour there. We're really glad that we did! In the afternnon, we went to the Uffizi Gallery where we saw works by Leonardo, Raphael & Michelangelo to name a few. (Only Donatello was missing ;).We finished the evening with a walking tour of the city.

Tommorrow we're off to Rome!
