Atop the Duomo in Florence...

From Rome we trained north to Florence.  It is such a beautiful city, easily walkable too which was nice.  We saw amazing views of the city atop the Duomo and from Piazzale Michelangelo.  We also went to the Galleria dell'Accademia where we saw Michelangelo's famous sculpture of David.  We found the best restaurant for pizza, called Gusta Pizza.  It was by far the most delicious pizza I have ever eaten.  Gelato was a huge hit; we indulged in it multiple times in each city and sometimes even multiple times in a day.
