THE EXHIBITION

On Tuesday my dad and I went to Florence in a train to see the Galileo exhibition on his telescopes. The most interesting thing I found at the museum was how many telescopes Galileo designed. This picture is of one of the telescopes he designed.


Unfortunately we didn't get to see the maps with out New Zealand and Australia in them because they were in the level that was getting restored. So we went to another museum that had them but it was too expensive.

We had lunch in the food market. I ate roast beef on bread with gravy. We sat on a big table with two Italian builders and a plasterer. They were funny because they kept on telling me to finish the rest of my food in Italian.

This is a picture of me on a giant turtle in Florence.

Sounds like we will need to do a trip into Florence. Grandpa will be very interested in the museum.

Great trip - pity about not being able to see the maps.

It is so cool that you have those things to be able to visit - like Galileo's telescopes. You will have to show some of your visitors that - I know Grandpa would be impressed.
