Day Four: Florence (July 13, 2010)
Leaving Rome, it was to Tuscany and the City of Florence. This is the birthplace of the Renascence. My favorite thing was the large church, the Cathedral of Dante Marie del Fiore....

Day Five: Venice (July 14, 2010)
The next day we headed to the city of canals...Venice. Located on the Aderdic Sea I really didn't think I would like this beautiful city as much as I did. Maybe it was going up in St. Mark's Campanile and viewing the city from above, stunning! I don't know why I didn't go into St. Mark's Basilica, but I did get to see Venician glass blowing. Along with this, I got to see a place I labeled the Russian Billionaire Room.
