we visited the uffizi museum today. michaelangelo, leonardo, titan, botacelli, the list goes on. they were all beautiful. our guide, barbara, enlightened us on the techniques and meanings behind the paintings. her english was great, but she pronounced some words amusingly. like the word naked. she said nakt. and tired was ty-red. she was great.
we have hot water now. who knew you had to turn on the water heater with a switch that is 7 feet off the floor hidden by the hairdryer?
its our last night in florence. i hate to leave. this city has so much character and history. for dinner tonight we got some fresh tomatoes, basil, cheese, rolls, grapes and a piece of cake and sat out on our verranda overlooking the city and countryside.
we are off to milan tomorrow. we will only be there until midnight, then we take a night train to france.
caio.
