The Best View

There really arent many places in Florence where you won't be stunned by any of your surroundings. Just walking down a street is an amazing sight, but today I got the best picture of Florence since I arrived on Wednesday. Florence, which is situated in a valley between mountains, is a generally flat city, save a few random hills that pop out of the landscape. One of those hills, Michelangelo's Hill, is located across the river from my apartment, not far from the center of the city. Me and my housemates took a walk and decided after seeing the hill that we would try and find a way to get up there. We walked up a hilly street, and then up a couple flights of stares. The trek was kind of tiring in the end, but when we got to the top, we saw an amazing view of the city. at the peak was a 360 degree of Florence and the surrounding areas. I even saw a snow capped mountain in the distance. The best part about this whole thing was it's FREE, unless you need to use a public restroom. That will cost you 50 cents
