Sunday, April 3

We started out this morning by getting to the Uffizi Gallery. That was so awesome! Like the Louvre, it has many many famous, beautiful masterpieces, from about the 13th-17th centuries. My faves were the Botticelli paintings, like Primavera and The Birth of Venus. After that we went to Santa Croce, the cathedral where Michaelangelo, Galileo, Dante, Machiavelli, etc. are entombed. Then we came out and had lunch out on the piazza. YUM! Then we meandered and strolled around Florence, just enjoying it. I got a few cute scarves- they're pretty fashionable everywhere in Europe, even in places like Italy where it's warm.
I'm not really mentioning in here the numerous times we've stopped and had some gelato. Raspberry, straciatella, limone, fragola, crema, cioccolate, vaniglia, anana.... Good thing we're walking around so much! :)
