Day 18: The Galleries of Florence
Tuesday, August 13th
Florence: Home of the Renaissance
Our class focus today was the Renaissance. Our Classical Civilization students lined up early to get into the Accademia, home of Michelangelo’s David. Our English and Photography classes had a reservation at the Uffizi Galleries, home to the largest collection of Renaissance art. Our English students were even able to do their class presentations inside.
In the afternoon, it was the history class’s turn to tour the Uffizi, while the English students worked on their next project. Our photography students were off to the quaint town of Pisa, home of the famous Leaning Tower Of Pisa. Stay tuned for a separate photo blog on that.
In the evening, our students enjoyed their final night in Florence. Gelato, carousel rides, leather bags, sunset chasing and souvenir shopping.
Tomorrow, we travel to Siena, our final destination.
