Maddy and Gus wrote this note to a friend tonight- here it is with pictures for all to share:
Today we went to Florence and it was the prettiest city we've ever seen. We liked the big river (called the Arno) and saw so many pretty statues. We like the colors of the buildings- they mostly use green, white and red marble (like the colors of the Italian Flag). We climbed up a ginormous tower with 414 steps (scale). It was the bell tower of the Duomo (we think it's the 4th largest church in the world). Later, we saw someone in the bell tower while the bells were ringing and we hope he was wearing earplugs. We could see pretty much the whole city from up top (su la torre), and the people and a few horses looked like colored ants and beetles. We added some pictures for you to see.
