day 47 Florence

13 June
First thing we went to the accademia gallery. It took us a while to get in, about 40 minutes. Again we came prepared with a downloaded guide to the gallery. The main attraction is the statue of David which stands 14 feet high at the of the main hallway. Down the hallway are also Michelangelo's prisoners which are men partly carved out of blocks of marble-like they are trying to escape. We also did a walk that followed the history of the renaissance in Florence through several piazzas and looking at impressive buildings. We also saw a copy of David (photo). For dinner we found another meal and drink deal, thru are quite common in Florence.
