Today was spent waiting.
First, we waited for the ladies sharing our room to leave. Why? Well, last time we returned the door was left unlocked! So this time to make sure our stuff was secure, we waited for them to leave so we could lock the room ourselves.
Second, we waited for the rain to stop. Rocio, the prepared camper she is, brought an umbrella on this trip. Unfortunately, it really isn't a very good umbrella so we had to wait out the rain at times.
Finally, we waited three hours to enter the Uffizi Gallery. This gallery contains various famous paintings, including the infamous Venus inside a shell riding the ocean. This is also the gallery I admit saying, "I'd date Saint Michael," after seeing a very cute, muscular depiction of the archangel.
Don't worry, we did do somethings in between the waiting. We went to the Bargello Museum, the Orsan Michele church, and took great pictures of Florence from the Piazale Michelangelo terrace. We also tried some dried strawberries from the Mercado Centrale. Delicious? Not as much as our hazelnut smoothy(!) that we had for dessert. Hazelnut smoothy!
P.S. Rocio scared me today. How? By simply running next to me and singing.
Long story.
