in the past

Last week Ingrid asplund came over from Germany. The first day she was here we wnt to the Duomo and the Uffizi gallery to see the Birth Of Venus. while we were at the Uffizi along with The Birth Of Venus We saw two paintings by Leonardo DaVinci and lots of Madonas. Later that week we went to the Academia to see Michael Angelos David. At the end of the week went to Siena to see some stuuf by a sculpter named Bernini who Ingrid likes. We saw the Sienese Duomo and the town square. In the town square there was a fountain called the fountain of joy. It was just a copy but it was still fairly old and very beautiful. It was a very beautiful marble fountain with stories from the bible carved onto the sides. There was also a faucet in the square by the fountaixn so you could drink water from the fountain of joy. The Sienese Duomo was also very beautiful. With lots of marble and stained glass windows. But along with the beauty it was a little gaudy. With green and white marble zebra stripes. Also in the Sienese Duomo was a library that a pope from pienza built in honor of his uncle pias the second. Pias the second was a great librainan and had a large collection of very expensive books that were going to be placed in the library. Unfortunetly none of the books ever made it into the library and now it is filled with extremely expensive and old chior books from the eighteenth century. Along the sides of the librarys walls are frescos of pias the seconds major events in life starting from when he went off to war as a young man and enading when he died ight before the sixth crusade against the turks.
