After a high-speed rail journey from Pompeii, we’re exploring Florence for a couple of days. Walked around a bit in late afternoon when we got here and then hit the museums on our first full day. The Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze. I took a Renaissance Art class in grad school, which I ended up loving, to get some needed humanities credits. To see so many paintings in real life that I had seen in a text book was incredible. David wasn't too bad either. We were both amazed at the vibrant colors of so many of the paintings. This is definitely a city we’d like to visit again.
