David(s)

I didn't know there was more than one David. Yea, Florence is full of them... Well, maybe not full, but there are a few. Since it's Sunday, many shops and churches are closed. And, you need reservations for many of the museums to avoid long lineups. On he advice of the Rick Steves book left here, we decided to try a lesser known museum in the morning, where we could see Donatello's Davids (2) and then head over to see Michelangelo's version. It's in a museum now, having been replaced in it's original location by a replica. We came around the corner and it was one of those "ahhh" moments. Wow. We probably sat there for about 20 minutes, moving to a new perspective every 5 or so. Every spot we sat in, we noticed something different. It is a study in the beauty of the human form. Belissimo! Owen was happy to be out of the sling and spent a lot of time trying to get the attention of other tourists. It was cute.

Anyway, David. Wow.
