Visiting Florence, Italy 2-24-23

On Friday we were in Florence and visited the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore and saw the Brunelleschi Dome. We went to the Synagogue of Florence – Comunità ebraica di Firenze, Florence’s Accademia Gallery home of Michealangelo’s David, The Baptistery of St. John church in the Piazza della Repubblica, and the Ponte Vecchio bridge.
