Rome Trip: Wednesday, Dec. 17, 2008

This was the day of our Florence trip. When we arrived, we found a German festival (of all things) in the Piazza di Santa Croce. Since we only had about 5 hours to see the city, we rushed to see as much as we could. We first walked in the Santa Croce, then into the Duomo, where several of us climbed the dome.

After this, we saw Michelangelo's David. Then we had just enough time to walk by the Vecchio Palace and the Ponte Vecchio, where several of us ran to get a quick photo on the bridge.
