International Summers: Arrivederci Italia, we're coming home!

In Florence we continued  our journey to discover the best of Tuscan culture. We started out last week with a trip to Pisa, about an hour from Florence on the high-speed train. Students were successfully able to stop the leaning tower from falling, marvelled at the Pisa Cathedral and enjoyed a lovely garden lunch. A number of students opted to stay back and complete essays and ISPs.

We arrived in Florence on Friday evening after a long day spent in Siena and San Gimignano. We made our way to the hotel with music in the background among the ever-glowing light of the city. Given Florence's safety and overall charm, students were given the privilege of exploring the Duomo in groups before signing in for the day ahead.
