So, today was a day for museums.
First, we got up in the morning (obviously) and walked down to the Leonardo da Vinci Museum. Inside, they had reconstructions of Leonardo's inventions and copies of his notes and ideas. It was truly amazing to see what a genius mind like Leonardo's thought of but never created. I posted a ton of photos on my Facebook page, which I heartily suggest you check out.
Next, we considered going to the Galileo Museum before we went to the Uffizi (yu-feet-zee), but we didn't have time to do that and eat lunch, so we just ate lunch (french fries again, yum!).
When we got to Uffizi, we were greeted with a wall of sculptures (three hallways, actually), which were fun to look at. But what we had really gone for, of course, were the paintings. And we got paintings! We saw things such as the Baptism of Christ (Leonardo da Vinci), the Venus and Spring (Botticelli) and much, much more. We also saw a Medusa shield and the Hermaphrodite. Check my Facebook page for over 30 photos, with more to come.
So, in short, even though we didn't go to the Galileo Museum, the day was still pretty awesome. After the Uffizi, we just walked around Florence. Fun!
Tomorrow we'll be taking a train to Naples and going to Pompeii! Bye!
