Around the World in 15 Weeks [Monday, Period Three]
When Bond's class arrived at the Danger Shop today, they were greeted with a stunning evening view.
"Like London, Florence was originally founded as a Roman settlement," Bond began, once he felt they'd had enough time to take in the view. "By Julius Caesar himself to be exact. In the two thousand years since, it has come to be regarded as one of the most culturally significant cities in Europe, if not the world. Often referred to as the cradle of the Renaissance, its impact on art, science, religion, politics, even the Italian language itself can be felt to this day. Dante, da Vinci, Machiavelli, Galileo Galilei, the de Medicis, all of them at one point called Florence home."
He continued in this vein for quite some time as he led the class into the city, making sure to point out any particular places of interest.
Eventually, he led them a quiet square to a where a vast array of food was laid out on tables. "In addition to providing a feast for the senses and the soul," Bond said, gesturing to the tables. "I've found that Florentines are also quite adapt at providing them for the body." Well, he thought it was clever wordplay, at least.
