So after IGLA finished up in Paris, Drew and I took off on an overnight train to Italy. Our plan was to spend 2 days in Venice and 3 days in Florence. Such an incredible experience. Venice was beautiful and peaceful. Venice was so relaxing and visually stimulating. The gondolas, St. Marks Square, the water everwhere, Peggy Guggenheim museum, etc. We even met some great guys, Court and Counse, who were coming from IGLA too. They rode the overnight train with us to Venice and we met while dining in the dining room car. We chatted up with a few bottles of wine and decided to meet up the following night for dinner and drinks. Here's a picture of us all on the train:
After Venice, we headed to Florence, which was historically beautiful. We took a two day tour around the city, showing us masterpieces such as Botticelli's - The Birth of Venus and my favorite - Primavera. We also got to see and learn about Michaelangelo's David, which I must say, once you see it in person, you realize why it is considered the single best piece of art, EVER. Other favorites were visiting the Duomo, going to the Medici castle and learning and seeing the Ponte Vecchio. Here is a picture of Drew and I at the Medici castle, overlooking beautiful landscape in Florence:
