Piazza del signoria


Friday. This is the main piazza in Florence. A few short steps takes you to the Uffizi Gallery featuring paintings from Medieval to Renaissance. Giotto to Michelangelo and Raphael. This was our first stop.
From there we went to the Santa Croce church and church of Santa Maria Novella. Both impressive, lots of frescoes and paintings. Lots of walking. My legs were tired, but so were my eyes. After a while it is hard to concentrate and differentiate. When Doug asked if I wanted to go to another museum, I refused--I just couldn't take in another image.

We collapsed at the end of the day. (Friday) We couldn't even get ourselves out for dinner. Wine and cheese in the room was all we could manage. But it was good...
