My program, Sarah Lawrence College organizes a copious amount of trips for its students. The first two photos are from a field trip we went on to the Teatro della Pergola on Friday. I am going there again tonight for a concert (free tickets from SLC!). The next photos are from an Art History trip we took yesterday. In order: the Piazza dei Medici; the Basilica of San Lorenzo; outside the Medici library (you can see the Duomo in the background); inside the Medici library. You may notice that the church of San Lorenze looks rather ugly on the outside. That is because Michelangelo - who was commissioned to make the facade - got another, better paying offer elsewhere (by the same family - the Medici) and so left the church unfinished. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take pictures inside the church, which was designed by Brunelleschi. However, I can assure you it was breathtaking.
