Segways in Florence

Friday morning we went on our Segway tour of Florence. It was pretty
cool. After a little orientation time in front of the Weston hotel
we were off. The Segways were actually pretty easy to drive. It was
amazing how responsive they were. Navigating through the pedestrians
was a little tougher. As Holly said, everyone seemed to assume that
we knew what we were doing on those things.

Watching people's reactions was hilarious. We heard a lot of "Why
didn't we get those?", or "That is the way to see Florence."

We saw quite a bit of the city and it was nice to get a quick
overview. The Duomo Cathedral is pretty amazing.

Later that day we went to the Uffizi (museum with lots of art that
looks vaguely familiar from art history courses) and the Academia
(where Michelangelo's David is). We were pretty worn out by the
end. But we capped the day off with an amazing dinner and gelato.

We'll post more later. We are off to Siena today.
