Chapter 1 > Italy

The last country we visted was Italy. It was amazing. We went to Venice, Florence, and the Cinque Terre on the Italian Riviera. Unforgettable.

Venice

St. Mark's cathedral. We weren't dressed well enough to go inside.

The campanile at St. Mark's square. I'm glad it had an elevator.

Florence

I was very impressed by Michelangelo's David. The detail and realism is amazing. You have to see it for yourself.
