| Stopping for a nice long lunch! |
 |
| What luck! The rain stopped and the skies cleared just as we finished lunch - to the duomo to climb the cupola immediately! Now to just make the 493 steps!!! |
 |
| As we climbed and climbed we got glimpses of the city that looked like this through the window grates |
 |
| And then! Magic! We found ourselves at the base of the dome, suddenly thrown into the paintings of the dramatic last judgement |

| Brooke's signal for "tired" and "must catch breath" |
 |
| Ms. Novak's signal for...I am claustrophobic and am going to kill Mrs. Hals for talking me into this.... |
 |
| Almost there! Making the really tricky ascent up the curves of the dome |
 |
| Triumph! Enjoying our views of the Campanile Giotto and the city of Florence |
 |

 |
| More views of the unbelievable dome |
 |
| View of the duomo from the campanile...because climbing 500 steps wasn't enough...we had to climb another 417! |
