Florence 3

We went to Florence for the third time as a group but this time it was only with Carol's seminar. We went underneath the Duomo to look at the historical layers and the development of Florence through time. After we were done as a group, I went to Santa Maria Novella and the Boboli Gardens by myself. These gardens were nice but nowhere near as well kept as some of the villas we have visited. After the gardens I walked back down the hill to the river and then walked back up it to get to the Piazzale Michelangelo which has a bronze replica of The David. The piazza is much higher than the city of Florence and has the best panoramic view across the city. On my way back to the train station I stopped to get some lunch and ordered a sausage and eggplant panini. As you can tell by the photo, the sausage was completely raw. It tasted good and I didn't get sick but it was just really weird eating something like that. I definitely did not expect raw meat on my sandwich.
