Day 18

LToday was the day we climbed to the top of the duomo. I almost backed out on account of my foot hurting, but I went slow and steady and made it to the the top! We trekked through winding rows of stairs, narrow corridors, and steep steps to reach the top. It was allllll worth it though!

Afterward, we had the rest of the day free. I observed the people around me from our terrace. There are many tour groups, families riding bikes, and many people walking. I noticed the Italian people don't wear helmets while riding unlike the foreigners here. I don't blame them on these streets. Also, Nancy and shakela said the saw a family hell their child go number 2 on the side of the street with no shame... Just saying, we aren't used to that! Oh, the things you see in the city.

Oh, I also went to watch the beautiful Florence sunset one last time.
