Day Nine - Florence: | |
Explored Florence today with a local guide. She took us to the Uffuzi Museum.
The building used to be the offices (uffuzi) for the Medici that controlled Florence.
Now it's a wonderful art museum.

Florence Museums Afterwards we all split off in different directions. Many went to the Boboli Gardens, home to a distinguished collection of sculptures, grottos, fountains, and antiques dating from the 16th through 18th centuries. Rising behind the Pitti Palace, the gardens were originally designed for the Medici nobels. I took off on my own private camera assault on the city. Florence is the kind of place the 4-Gigabyte memory sticks were meant for. Statues on every corner. Well, maybe not every corner, but certainly at every little town square. Pam found me just in time to get into the camera's crosshairs. |
