Il Giardino di Boboli

We were originally going to visit Galleria dell' Arte Moderna but it was randomly closed today, so we went ahead and went to Giardino di Boboli because it was open and in the same area. It was a very hot walk around the gardens but it was very peaceful and relaxing. Dani, Katie, Emily and I found a shaded part that overlooked Florence. The city is beautiful from every point of view but I found this one special because it emphasized the structure of the city and how the city is in a valley surrounded by mountains. Francesca, Siena, and Dorian met up with us. We started walking and found Josh who joined us for the walk around the gardens. Francesca showed us around the garden and gave us all the history that we wouldn't have known on our own or without our guidebook. We wandered around the garden and broke a few rules by walking in blocked off parts of the area. Shhhhh! Today was a perfect day for visiting Giardino di Boboli and I recommend going to it if you are looking for a relaxing place to go and just sit around while gazing at the beautiful panoramic view of Florence.   --Kelsea Eckenroth
