David...David...David...David

No David is not a charming Italian man that I met in Rome, but the 17 foot statue formed by the Michelangelo was everything I dreamed and more. Where did we come across this magnificent art form of the image of man, which was a great representative of the Image of God through His power that was revealed via in it, it was in Florence.

We have arrived in Florence. On the train from Rome, we met our next tour guides, Zack Irvine and Joshua who are Westmont graduates.We had a great time getting to know them and talking about Spring Sing. The day we arrived and dropped our stuff in the convent we were staying in, we toured the city learning about the history of Duomo  and saw Paradise Doors that took 40 years to make. We later climbed up these steep stairs up to the Piazza of Michalangelo. We all ended up there the next to watch the sun set and listen to this duet band...which our group may or may not have started the electric slide alongside them. Needless to say it was a good night to a good day of lots of shopping around the Leather Market. Everyone's bags have abruptly gotten bigger when we left for Switzerland.

It was a lovely time in Florence, Italy.
