Day 17: Duomo (climb dome)
and Uffizi Museum
Walking to the Uffizi Museum in the morning.
Medici Venus
The Birth of Venus by Botticelli
We had a number of really great meals in Florence. The tiramisu and cheesecake here were incredible.
We could not get tickets to all go up to the dome of the Duomo together. Tom went first with Nash, Tess, and Tate. Michelle, Cooper, and Fletcher all went separately later in the day. Climbing to the top of the dome was a great experience.
In the late afternoon we (everyone except Cooper) visited the Opera del Duomo Museum. We were able to go up to the rooftop deck when Cooper was on top of the dome and we could see each other wave.
