Today was a day of BIG art. Before lunch we took in the Accademia which is home for David. There are loads of paintings and sculptures but of course the main reason everyone goes is to see David "live and in person." He's massive. You just can't imagine that someone hauled that huge chunk of rock anywhere let alone carved it into a lifelike being.
The Uffizi wasn't as massive as the Pitti but there were Bottacellis, Leonardos and Michelangos. The downer to it was that there were also MASSIVE tour groups. They sometimes choked a room and made impossible to see an exhibit, especially the really important pieces.
We're going out for a walk now but I'll add more later.
