Italy 2007- Day 5 Duomo

Jenna is pretty fortunate when it comes to the Duomo.   The Duomo is one of the most famous landmarks in art history.  A masterpiece by Brunelleschi and some would say, the beginning of the Renaissance.

She celebrated her 17th birthday by climbing to the top of the Dome.  She was along on my sabbatical in 2003.  Older and wiser, she can climb the dome and still be 17.  It might take more strength, and her knees might hurt, but when she steps out onto the platform, it is September 19, 2003 and she is with her cousin Amy and her dad.
