We almost did not get to see Michelangelo's David while in Florence. It was one of two things I wanted to experience in Florence, but didn't realize the need to book in advance. We only had 3 days in Florence. After the first night, I inquired at the desk of our hotel about booking a reservation to see David, and... more

Seeing... more

Seeing David wasn't something I was terribly excited about during our visit to Florence. While I enjoy art, I'm not all that big on sculpture. Thankfully we decided to see it because it's a "must see," according to all the guidebooks. David far exceeded my expectations. In fact, I would go so far as to say that it was mesmerizing.... more
