San Lorenzo Market - Florence, IT (Day 3 of 8)

Firenze Duomo

Sometimes it’s just the simple pleasures.  We packed 10 days of clothes, and carefully planned laundry stops.  Today we washed enough clothes to finish the trip, simple pleasures!

The last time we were here, we could not get into the Uffizi Gallery because the lines were too long.  COVID brought timed admission, so getting in is much easier.  The gallery was built in 1581, and was officially opened to the public in 1769.  It’s immense, with well over 100 rooms.  I sometimes wonder what aliens would think when they landed their spacecraft in places that we have been.  If they visited the Uffizi Gallery, they would have thought that we didn’t invent clothes until the 19th century!


Tomorrow, it’s a Chianti tour through Tuscany.  Originally, I was going to rent a car to see rural Tuscany, but seeing that things like driving on the right side of the road is merely a suggestion, I have decided against it.
