Day 4, Milan to Florence

This blog post was written by junior guard, Rebecca Musgrove!

Today we were up bright and early on the roof top for a harsh workout. We had an intense conditioning and body weight session to start the day.

After our workout we packed our stuff, ate breakfast, and were on our way to destination number two! It was about a 3 hour ride to Florence. Some of us got a nap in while others played games to pass the time. Coach P. even discovered he was the "perfect alpha male", describing himself as a combo of the hulk, captain american, and a few other superheroes.

When we got to Florence we were all ready to shop. We walked through the world famous leather market and treated ourselves to some great bags, jackets and belts! The city was beautiful and the shopping was endless. Needless to say we were in our glory and quickly blowing through our Per diem! There was also much to see!

The city was beautiful and the team made it to the famous Ponte Vecchio. Then some of us came across the huge, gorgeous Duomo Cathedral. We shopped until the stands closed up and off to dinner we went. We had a great meal at Canto De' Nelli and bragged about all the great haggling we did and tried outdoing eachother with what deals we got. It was a very eventful and enjoyable day which of course ended with gelato. 

We are extremely grateful for the opportunity we were given and have truly been enjoying every minute of it with out friends and families! Looking forward to the rest of what Italy has to offer us!
