Day 14 Tuesday
Tuesday was a short boring day. Not much activity. We registered with the police, so they have our documents and information in case anything happens. Then we had classes and prepared for our Wednesday tests. After school, we went to the Academia Museum, where the famous “David” sculpture resides. He was the most beautiful statue I have ever seen. 15 feet of perfection, gorgeous eyes, stylish hair, muscular, and butt naked! Michelangelo was the first sculptor to create a correctly portioned and realistic statue of a naked man. However, David’s head and hands are slightly larger than the rest of his body. He never explained why but it is possible that he was symbolizing two important parts of the body: the mind, and the hands, which he used to slay the giant. I wish I could have snapped a photo of this beautiful man, but the security was so difficult, he was like an ancient celebrity!
Following the museum, Gail and I went on a shopping adventure around Florence with no map. We tested our abilities of internal directions and we were semi-successful. We didn’t get much shopping done, we just walked around. And we got home just in time for our meeting. But we are getting better every day!
