Day 2 and 3





Day 2:

The Uffizi--amazing. Seeing the paintings I've been learning about for years close up was a bit surreal. Here's some of what I saw.

Botticelli's The Birth of Venus
Rembrandt. Self Portrait

Da Vinci

Day 3:

Today we went to view the real statue of David, done by Michelangelo. It is extremely difficult to describe the size of this piece. It's 17 feet tall, but that didn't mean anything to me until I saw it. Unfortunately no pictures of that. We also took a walk to the highest point of Florence. Tired today.
