Artsy-Fartsy stuff!!...

Actually, both the "Galleria Academia" and Uffizi were enjoyable.  Academia is where the most  famous David is located and that's why it is crowded. It is small, we took our time and listened to an audio guide we had and were done in under two hours.

Then we went to Uffizi...it is more ART/paintings but the history side of it all was interesting. They dont want you taking pics either place but we snuck in a couple including an old piano (harpsichord) for Mama.

Tomorrow is a down day to wander and then Sunday we're off for a Vespa tour of the country side.
