Florence Day 2

Interesting day today! Part of the group climbed to the top of the Duomo. I went to the Duomo museum with another girl. It was a cool museum! The original doors from the Duomo are on display as is much of the original artwork. After that we went to the Ufizzi museum and had lunch. 

After lunch we went to see another smaller church. This church houses the tombs of both Galileo and Michelangelo.  

We ended our tours with a tour of the Leather School of Florence. It was really cool! They showed us how they make handbags. The students practice on cheap leather and the artisans use some of the finest leathers in the world. They had so many beautiful leather handbags! It was fascinating! 

Tonight we are going as a (very large) group to dinner and getting some dishes that are deemed 'must haves' while in Florence!
