On July 24, we went up the Duomo. The 400 steps took a toll on some people, especially with the treacherous nature and overwhelming heat. Once at the top, however, it was all worth it. The view was spectacular and you could see the entire city. It was also worth it because we got to see Andrew look scared out of his mind on the balcony and appreciated our own lack of fear. Then we went to the baptistry, which was more grand than it had to be, showcasing the Medici spending on arts projects. We went and saw the actual gates at a museum ad then explored the city of Florence on our own. At night, we celebrated my birthday with cake, pizza and a surprise party.
