Today we explored the Uffizi Gallery!
I was probably the most excited about this museum visit, because I knew the least about it.
It wasn’t too crowded, which was nice.
Again, we used Rick Steve’s audio tour.
Printemps!
The Birth of Venice, by Botticelli. I LOVED seeing this one in person.
Medici Venus. How do people sculpt? It’s so incredible.
A view of the Ponte Vecchio from the Uffizi.
Annunciation.
A little break time in the hallway!
Laocoon and his sons. This is a copy. We saw the original in the Vatican!
Madonna of the long neck.
Scandalous!
I love me some Caravaggio.
We left the Uffizi, our minds full of beautiful art works.
And then went to explore the city. Look, I found a yarn store!
And the large outdoor market. I bought a leather bag, my hubs bought a leather belt.
Hello, lunch!
Hello, wine!
Dessert. Yup.
