Saving the best for last

Thanks to our B&B host, Mario, we got admission tickets to two of the museums we were really interested in seeing in Florence. In the morning, we walked the four blocks to the Uffizi, the huge warehouse of European art, mostly paintings, that is housed in 58 huge rooms. After lunch and a nap, we hiked the other direction and visited the real David by Michelangelo. You think you know what he looks like until you see the real sculpture. He is incredible. After seeing David, we walked back to the Bed&Breakfast, stopping at some stores on the way there. Janna went in for the night, while Liz and Spring went out and enjoyed their last, and best, gelato (featured here). After hanging out in the square a little longer, we also went in and packed up as we're leaving early tomorrow morning.
