Firenza
What a change from the country to Florence.Busy,closed-in, and sensory overload. We got here this morning in our Ducat, dropped it off at the rental place and were in the process of putting our baggage in the cab when-BAM-the sky fell! The arm of the blocker-thing on the car park exit hit me on the head! Thankfully I am fine, except for my pride(could I have done anything more goofy?) and off we went. Ray and I stood in line for over an hour and saw the Uffizzi Gallery. Wow! But talk about sesory overload! The Birth of Venus was good to see, along with several hundred other things.We met some nice Australians in the line-up, which was fun. Tomorrow we go to the Galleria del'Accademia, to see David his own self in all his splendor.

Pleased to hear you were not damaged by the "blocker thing." Clearly this calls for more Chianti for recuperative purposes. It just goes to show how accidents can occur so unexpectedly. Now you have to explain why your cab was parked across the path of the "blocker thing" in the first place, and why you were oblivious to its path. Enjoy Firenza, it is like living inside a grand outdoors museum.
