Day 3

It’s Day 3, and spirits are high—especially Perri’s, who has somehow eaten so much actual dairy without pooping her pants and throwing up. America, take notes.

 

The day needed to lay low, sponsored by The Quils (DayQuil & NyQuil) which thankfully fueled a 10.5-hour sleep session for the a lingering cold Taylor is beating.

But by afternoon, we rallied for a walking tour… which turned out to be more of an art history deep dive than a general Florence overview. We learned stuff like Renaissance architecture is all about inner awakening and a super cool guy literally invented background painting right where we were standing. Who knew that paintings once avoided backgrounds because it's not a natural human thing to know how to paint in perspective? I'm not kidding. 

 

Florence feels ancient but totally self-assured, like it knows exactly who it is. And it can strut and flex all it wants because, well, it's Florence for goodness' sake. Also, we’re now convinced the world needs a Spotify for self-guided history tours. Stay tuned for our inevitable app launch on that...
