Firenze: Day 1

Michelangelo's The Holy Family
Yesterday we went to Florence for the first time (except when we flew into the airport).  There aren't words for the level of cool that this city is.  So, let's see some photos!  Most of these are of the Uffizi, arguable the best Renaissance Museum in the world.  It was grand, even though it isn't my favorite period of art. Personal favorites included the tondos (circular paintings) of Botticelli (below) and Michelangelo's tondo of the Holy Family.

 The city was all it promised to be, and we're going back tomorrow for round 2.  What a city!

    My comments are under your pictures. Mostly they are oohs and ahs over the wonderful artwork and food.
