| Inside the Uffizi, where they had a room full of Boticelli's paintings. No pictures allowed, but I ninjaed it and took a quick snap of "The Birth of Venus" before someone could come and say "NO FOTO!" |

| Coke in Italy tastes soooooo much better than it does in the states!!!! I think it's made from real sugar instead of that fructose crap. Joseph made a joke about how the coke cans here in Italy are taller and slimmer because people here in Italy are slimmer! Hahahaha. |
 |
| Walking through Ponte Vecchio and checking out all the jewelry shops! |
