Florence. So much beauty and genius in one day. Started early at the Uffizi Gallery, following the artistic path from medieval art and themes to seeing many of the Renaissance masters all in one place. Switched from art to science with the Galileo Museum and watched the progression of ideas of everything from magnification and weather to navigation and electricity unfold.Had some tasty sandwiches at the same tiny place we visited 20 years ago (it has been there since 1875!). Saw some beautiful craftsmanship at the school of leatherworking, and got some souvenirs. Warm afternoons mean gorgeous skies & siestas. Ended the day at The Accademia, admiring Michelangelo's unmatched talent.
