The Duomo and the Tower

My afternoon workout: Climbing the Duomo. 
 
463 steps. No lift. Was the sign we saw while entering the Duomo. The Duomo is the Cathedral in Florence. It is beautiful from the outside. 
It was quite a workout but the view from the top made you forget about your legs hurting. 
You can see the whole city, which is priceless. 
We took a lunch break at this restaurant called Bucca San Giovanni. It was a really nice restaurant but we were the only ones there so the waiters kept feeding us for free. They like Americans so the cook made us dessert on the house and wine and prosettco. 

Needless to say, the hike up the tower was brutal. The tower view was amazing as well. 
Midway up the tower.

It was a great way to spend our Wednesday afternoon! 
Stay tuned for Nice, France and Monte Carlo this weekend!! I hope my blackjack skills are up to par!
