At the Uffizzi Musei in Florence today...standing in front of Botticelli's "Birth of Venus"..I was overwhelmed at this amazing place. It's huge and full...full of more art than I ever saw in the coffee table books that were my introduction to so many great pieces when I was small. I may one day regret leaving before seeing it all, but it seemed I was rushing and it was difficult to see some of the major pieces because of the crowds.
Tomorow is our last class and our last tour. We will conclude with a dinner tomorrow evening here in Florence. I have been keeping a hand written journal that I will work on transcribing onto this blog over the next few weeks.
Friday morning I leave for Paris and plan to connect back here as I have internet.
