The next day after wine tasting, we were all pretty tired so most of us decided to sleep in. After some breakfast. Jenn, Liz, and I went out for a run. We took a kind of circuitous route not really knowing where we were going, which consequently led us up some rather steep inclines, a number of steps, and a run along the old city wall as well but we eventually made it up to Il Piazzale di Michelangiolo. A little piazza dedicated to Michelangelo. All our climbing paid off in the form of some awesome views of the city.



We ate our lunch relatively fast because we had to make our way back down into the city to see the David. We had made an appointment through Liz's contact who took us on the wine tour to see the David but only had 15 minutes to make the appointment on time. We couldn't find a single taxi any, so being that we're runners, well, we ran.



We did eventually find a cab and made our appointment with a minute to spare. The David was pretty cool if not a little intimidating since he's got that huge penis. It'd make Ron Jeremy proud. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the David sinece photography was not allowed, so here's a stock photo:



I know, you can feel the immensity and grandeur of the statue just from looking at the picture...

Anyway after the David we walked around town, did a bit of shopping and called it a day.
