The David


A highlight for me on this trip was a return visit to the Accademia, to see the original David by Michelangelo. Matt and I visited the Accademia when we went to Florence last year. I thought it was something that Mom and Dad should see. We got to the museum about a half hour before closing. We walked right in and were the only people in the museum with the exception of the security guards. It was like our own private showing of the David! We were able to stand in front of it and look without throngs of tourists crowding us. It was an incredible way to view Michelangelo’s masterpiece.
