We spent our day enjoying the sites and sounds Florence had to offer. Stepping into the Duomo we marveled at its simple decoration as compared to the many cathedrals we'd already seen. But the trip to the Duomo wasn't complete until we climbed the 462 narrow steps to the top of the dome, to look out over the whole valley. An incredible sight! Before the Duomo we stood in another museum line to see the David. The hilarity ensued when Ben picked up his camera to snap a photo and this giant woman came screaming at him in heavily accented english, "NO PHOTO!" Now, we're good tourists and we heed signs that prohibit photography and we hadn't seen one. After five minutes of searching, we finally found one sign printed on a normal piece of paper hanging high on the wall. Perhaps you wouldn't have to employ that absurd woman if you invested in a decent sign people.
