The Climb! 6-1-15

Ciao! Today was fun! We went on climbing adventures! We started out our morning real early! The reason was very worth it! We headed out to climb the Duomo! The Duomo is huge! It was a 463 step climb! When we got about half way up, we were able to see down inside the church and take some pictures! After we made it to the top, the view was spectacular! We could see all over the city! We were able to take glorious pictures! We stayed on top of the dome for a little while and just observed the scenery! The decent down was crazy! We had to fight people going up! After our successful climb, we headed back to the hotel for a break! We cooked us some nachos for lunch and took a small break. Jordan and I decided to head back out early to do some more exploring! At this time, we got crazy and decided to climb the bell tower that is attached to the church and dome! It was a 414 step climb! It was broken down into different sections, so we were able to get different views of the city! We took a few pictures before heading down! It was extremely hot! We did some shopping at the market before heading back to the hotel! For the night, Schuyler and I decided to go back at watch the sunset at the Piazzale Michelangelo again! It was once again gorgeous! Afterwards, we headed back to the hotel for the night!

  1. You actualy climbed Brunelleschi's Dome or the Cupola. The Duomo os the name of a city's main cathedral or bassilica. You zoomed up those stairs! Sad no one thought tto take a photo of ME at the top! Oh well, I will have to go again! I hope you enjoyed the experience...
