David in Florence and then on to Rome! Thursday, July 8th

Here we are in front of the Accademia in Florence. This building does not do justice to Michelangelo's statue of David in side!


Harold having a "teaching moment" with us on the street in Florence. Florence is his favorite city and he was able to teach us quite a bit about the renaissance and the artists from there!




On a bridge in Florence. This city is amazing, and the best part is you can walk everywhere!


Georgy, Spencer & Daniel in Florence!



Then we headed to Rome! Our first stop was to look for Gladiator's at the Colosseum.


Inside the Colosseum!
It was huge (used to hold 50,000 people)!



Outside the Colosseum in front of the Arch of Constantine!



And finally we found a gladiator. Harold is begging for his life!



Our guys weren't really a match for the big guy!



Janie, Chris, Spencer, Matthew, THE GLADIATOR, Cindi, John, Evan, Brad, Thomas, Cassidy, Harold, Daniel, Georgy, Zack & Elaine!



After the Colosseum we headed to the Pantheon. (ref: angels & demons)


Outside the Pantheon, there was a german TV station that stopped and asked Cassidy to do an interview for them. They wanted him to tell them his take on selling and buying fake purses,etc.


Then they grabbed Thomas for his take on the issue.



We had a great Italian Feast (really) at a little Bistro!


Our last stop was the Trevi Fountain. This is the only picture (we will try to go back in daylight) where you can kind of see the Fountain in the back! It is huge!

Legend says if you toss a coin over your shoulder into the fountain you will be guaranteed a return trip to Rome! So here Thomas, Evan & Spencer are trying their good fortune!
