23 April 2005 - Florence
Busy day today. Saw one of the Medici villas, La Petraia. Holy frescoes, Batman! Very cool. Also saw San Lorenzo's chapel, the Duomo, and the Accademia gallery - including Michelangelo's David. That thing is MASSIVE. We also saw the BACK of it, something no one ever shows, haha. Ate lunch at this pizza place decorated with Coke stuff that served Pepsi, and dinner at a very nice little restaurant. Saw San Marco but didn't go in; on the way back from it I bought an Astro Boy wallet. Didn't go into Santa Maria Novella because the line was too long.
Tomorrow is the Uffizi and a bunch of other stuff, I really don't know. Thea has a list of stuff, mostly art history-related, to see, and I'm basically attracted to anything Medici-related, so Florence is lovely. Anyway. Lots to do. Time for sleep.
