Florence

So Florence was a big day for the Athens Academy students. We went to Florence, known for its leather, and went to the Academia, the Uffizi, and the Ponte Vecchia. It was all so beautiful, I could hardly believe my eyes! David was incredible and finding his JMN "tattoo" was fun to search for. The paintings were incredible in the Uffizi. We've all heard so much about the paintings, such as the Birth of Venus, from our teachers, but seeing them up close and in real life was a great feeling. The shops at the Ponte Vecchia were great, and not to mention our super cool selfie, taken in front of the River Arno. More to come soon!
