Florence 2.0

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
