Day 9- Lauren

Day 9 was the group’s second day in Firenze (Florence)! I started out the day by walking by the Cathedral with the dome. While I did not go up in the dome the cathedral was amazing to see even from the outside as it appeared almost castle like. Then many of us went to the Uffizi gallery which was filled with different types of art including books, newspapers, statues, and paintings. I was able to see the Birth of Venus and the painting of Medusa. After visiting the gallery, I got some delicious lemon and fruit gelato. Soon, I went to the market with the goal of finding olive oil and cheese. I sampled a few different types of olive oil and balsamic vinegar and chose my favorites. I also found some truffle cheese! Then I met up with the large group and got some tasty pizza. We then shopped our way back to the hotel and grabbed our things to get on the train. I slept through the train ride and enjoyed dinner at Casa Valdese before heading to sleep!

We then visited the Circus Maximus which is an ancient chariot-racing stadium. A few of us even raced each other so now we can say we raced in the Circus Maximus! We then proceeded to a Christmas market where we shopped and got lunch. Many people got lots of different types of pizza. I got a salmon, arugula, avocado, and lime wrap with fresh squeezed orange juice, which was incredible!! A group then walked to the baths of Caracalla which was unbelievably large in person. Many of the floors were still in tact and showcased beautiful stones with different patterns. We stopped by the mouth of truth and stuck our hands in for photo op just like Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck! Luckily none of us got our hands snapped off. We then en...
