Duomo
|
The Duomo in Florence. Everybody and their brother showed up at the Duomo the day we were there. |
 |
 |
HERE's a smaller building (the Baptistry) and 10000 of our most intimate friends. |
| The doors were beautiful and Massive! |  |
 |
And here's our goal for today- climb Giotti's Bell tower. There's no line and it's a slightly shorter climb... so let's go! |
| MJ, ready to rock... only 414 steps to go... |  |
 |
...and they all look like these. The stairway is no more than 30" wide (and traffic is going both ways). |
|
When you get to the top, it's very cool. HERE's MJ, surveying the landscape. Note that she never gets very close to the railing ;-) |
 |
 |
It is a long way down (270 feet) |
|
...but worth it. HERE's the duomo next to us- if you look closely, you can see the tourists outside it. |
