Florence: The Birth Place of the Renaissance
Ciao, Firenze!
Today was our last day in Italy and we sure made the most of it, putting in over 22,000 steps according to most people’s smart phones. We started our morning early at Galleria dell Accademia to see Michangelo’s David. Yes, the work is certainly amazing. We then walked to the market for a bite to eat and do some shopping. We ran into Anna, an alumnus of our grade school, who is currently studying in Florence. Father Steve led us in prayer at the Cathedral, Santa Maria Del Fiore. We walked to the leather market and then crossed the famous bridge, Ponte Vecchio, and headed to our last Mass at Basilica dello Santo Spirito. We then took a long leisurely stroll up the Florence hillside together to get a good view of the beautiful city from up high before boarding our 4 hour bus ride to Rome. We are exhausted physically, but inspired spiritually- certainly as St. Benedict would desire for us.
