Florence and Pisa

Our final stop in Italy was in Florence/Pisa. We had to take another long train ride to get to these places so we didn't have tons of time in either but saw the major stuff everyone talks about...



This is the Duomo- a church with the craziest facade I have ever seen in my life.... covered in carvings and sculptures


The doors to the baptistry at the duomo picturing famous biblical scenes

The inside of this church was rather austere compared to other churches we saw. However, this was my favorite church that we visited because we had this awesome tour guide who really drew you in to the tour and the history of the church... Look at those arches!



At a sculpture garden in Florence

An unfinished Michelangelo... This was another beautiful sculpture like the Pieta

The famous leaning tower!



We had to take these pictures of course


This was one of my favorite stops in Italy... if you're going there definitely check these cities out!
