Today we went
To a land not so far
To a place of flowers Florence
Of tourists and cars
We began our day
In the wee hours of dawn
Then we trekked to the train
And continued to yawn
The train ride passed
In a short bout of sleep
Then we entered the city
And took a mighty leap
Towering wonders
Awe-inspiring tombs
The Medici graveyard The Medici Tombs
All the while David looms
A modest entrance The Academia
Into a cathedral of art
Held mighty David
His size was a start
From there some went
To a collection quite vast The Galileo Science Museum
Of science's history
Who's legacy would last
A walk along the River Arno
Led us to a place of fame The Uffizi
Gods of old grace every wall
With a place in our hearts that shall forever remain
Weary from our travels
Eyes glistening of marvels seen
Our trusty train bore us home
Awaiting dinner for we had become quite lean It was delicious...
Even when your body can't seem to go on there is always gelato to keep you moving
A group waiting to go into the Academia
This blog has been brought to you by the perplexing minds of....
