Today we visited the Pitti Palace, which was the home of Medici family. It now is a gallery of their art and treasures so we wandered around there for a few hours before succumbing to the need to eat. In the afternoon we visited the Uffizi gallery, one of most famous in the world. One of its most famous works of art is Botticelli's The Birth of Venus. Amazing painting but we were both inevitably reminded of the Monty Python sketch where David tweaks her nipple and her leg spins around. But seriously, folks, it's great.
Once last trek up the hillside and tomorrow we are off to Rome.
