Greetings from Italia!

FIRENZE, ITALIA -- Bonjourno! Boker tov! Buenos dias! Good morning from Florence! Not much time to update, but the short of it is...

Rome was incredible. Saw the Sistine Chapel with Michelangelo's Adam, and Raphael's School of Athens. Did St. Peter's Basilica. Walked by and through the Castle of St. Angelo, Piazza della Minerva, Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and Piazza del Rotunda, Campo de Furi, Spanish Steps, Piazza Bernini, the Colosseum, the Forum, Constantinte's Triumphal Arch, Trajan's Column, and a whole ton more...

Two days ago took the train up to Pisa and saw the Piazza del Miracles, and climbed the Leaning Tower to the top - what a view!

Came over to Florence, and yesterday saw Michelangelo's David at La Galleria dell'Academia, as well as the Rape of the Sabines, and then in the Uffizi Galleries saw the Birth of Venus. After that we went to Il Duomo and climbed 497 steps all the way to the top - the mountains around Florence, WOW!

Now we are off to the Medici Chapels and then another day in Florence, tomorrow to Naples, then Capri and Pompeii.

Have a great week everyone, and LET'S GO HAWKS!!!
