Roomates Ella Smith and Kaitlyn Auth paused their dinner to take photos in front of the duomo while the sun was going down. Talk about dinner with a view.

On our second day in Florence, CET took us to Villa Ilangi. First, we toured the facility where they make the wine. Then, we had lunch, a wine tasting, and lounged by the pool.
