We Did It!

We climbed all 463 steps to the top of the Duomo today! I thought I was going to die - not from exhaustion (though there was that), but also from the mass claustrophobia I was feeling and the super steep spiral stairs that could kill anyone should they take a minor tumble. The views definitely made it worth every single step - and thank goodness for Sean, because this was his activity of choice for the day. I'm super proud of both of us though - everyone else was huffing and puffing too, so at least I know we aren't the only two out of shape in Florence!
