We finished our sightseeing in Florence at the Uffizi Gallery whose collection of paintings is just as impressive as the Accademia’s collection of sculpture. (Oltrarno, Tuscany, Italy)
Today we had an early appointment at the Accademia to meet a young man named David, and saw some amazing paintings and sculpture along the way. (“Amazing” is an understatement and doesn’t begin to do justice to their collection.) (San Lorenzo District, Tuscany, Italy)
We arrived in Florence yesterday in late afternoon, due to a delayed train. (Italy is great, but they could learn a few things from the Swiss about running a train system!) Only had time to walk to the Duomo.
Overheard from another tourist in Piazzale Michelangelo: “It’s the David! The fake David!” (Oltrarno, Tuscany, Italy)
Assisi is crowded with pilgrims and day trippers by day, but it’s lovely and quiet at night. (Assisi, Umbria, Italy)
