Making Wishes in Florence
I woke up early once again and began my drive to Florence, which I really was very excited about, because I heard the city was absolutely gorgeous. When I arrived, I certainly wasn’t disappointed. First, I got wowed by how pretty it was, even though it was under massive rebuilding. Then, checking in to my hotel Florence for one night, wow, beautiful. I then proceeded around the city with a hired tour guide. We stopped at all the major sites within the city including Michelangelo’s David.
I also, on my own, stopped by a bridge that has stood since Florence was formed. I climbed the Santa Maria del Fiore Basilica, all the way to the top and got a great birds eye view. It literally took my breath away; meaning the climb up and the view. Anyways, I’m glad I went off on my own, cause I couldn’t listen to the tour guide, I had too much on my mind. What was distracting me was this great feeling I had about the city. I can’t really explain it, but I felt so alive and at home all at the same time.
Upon leaving Florence, I made a quick trip to the Boar to pet it, when you pet the Boar, you’re suppose to make a wish. As I petted the Boar, my wish was to come back to Florence one more time before my life ends.
I drove from Florence to Rome, and was very, very tired. I was disappointed about how little there was to do in Fuggi. I was hoping that I would be able to get a taste of the nightlife in Rome, but it turns out that just wasn’t the case. The area I was at was entirely too far from Rome. Tomorrow, I’m off to see the Vatican! Maybe I’ll get lucky and get to see the Pope! I wonder if I can pet him and make a wish?
