Florence!

The train from Pisa to Florence was a short one.

We stayed at another campsite in Florence. This one turned out to be far up in the mountains. The coach bus took an hour for us to get to the site. The secenry was awesome and so worth the cheap price to stay out of the city! We were all really glad we were able to stay in the mountains--its a part of Florence that we would never have been able to see if not for our staying at the camp site. The campsite made us all homesick seeing the families together camping and swimming and just being together.

The next morning we went in to the city and I threw up my breakfast on the bus. I think my motion sickness with coach busses has gotten worse-- thats the 3rd time Ive throw up on those busses this summer! VInesha and I stood in line for an hour and a half to get into the Gallery Accedemica too see the statue of David. The statue shocked me. My jaw dropped and I gave a little gasp. It is huge, absoutly massive, gigantic. I had no idea it was going to be so large. Michaelangelo really was incredible. He gave David veins going down his arms and into his hands, bushy eyevbrows, tendions behiend his knees. I was shocked and so impressed. It was worth the wait in line and the admission price.

After the gallery, we met up with EJ and check out the Dumo and the chpanielle. That whole church area was crazy. Id never seen a white, green, and red/pink church before! The details were awesome and in good condition.

So I threw up, the I stubbed my toe and broke my nail, then I got my ATM card eated by a stupid ATM machine. I was really distrubed and anxious for the rest of the day because I knoew my other account woundt have money until tuesday ( keep in mind it was sunday that I lost my card) and I didnt know if my credit card would let me take out money of the atm....ahh stesses of traveling!

That night we ate out dinner by the pool and then had a drink with two danish girls who were in our dorm with us. They were probably some of the nicest people Ive met here.

We got up early and took the bus back into Florence and hopped on a train to Rome. I didnt throw up on the bus and at the train station in Florence I was able to get money out--God always provides, doesn't he.
