Florence

It is difficult to find words to describe Florence--the birthplace of the Renaissance. Being here is like going back in time 500 years. We visited the Duomo shown above. Then the Uffizi Gallery to view art work by Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Botticelli. In the afternoon I visited the Galileo Science museum which chronicles the history of science in the 1600 and 1700's. During the afternoon hundreds of people were in the streets visiting open air markets.
