Day 10: Climbing The Duomo
Through the course of my 18 years, I have often found my self in the wonderfully fortuitous position of witnessing incredible sights. I have been privileged enough to have seen incredible sights, from the top of the World Trade Center or the Great Wall of China, to our very own Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The view from the top of the Duomo can now be counted among them. A literally breathtaking experience, reaching the top of the dome is no easy feat; once there though, your breath will be taken again. Looking over all of Florence, my mouth agape, I felt such a powerful sense of shock and awe. For three months, this vast, thriving metropolis is ours to explore, it's walls, crevices and haberdasheries ours to discover. Drivers, start your engines.
