Tuesday was a very busy day for us. We had tickets to the Uffizi and the Accademia museums. Thankfully, due to Carlyn in the wheelchair, we did not have to wait in line. I picked up our tickets at both places and away we went! The Uffizi had amazing Renaissance paintings while the Accademia had the David. Unfortunately, they would not let us take pictures of the David. Too bad. It would have made a nice Christmas card, haha!
After our fun filled museum morning, we had enough of paintings. We needed some shopping time. We hit the local markets and stocked up on stuff! The shopping in Florence is very nice, both on the main drag (Gucci, Prada, YSL, etc) and in the markets. You can get Italian silk ties for 6e or cashmere scarves for 20e. Stockings are really big in Italy right now. Everyone wears leggings and boots or short skirts, patterned stockings, and boots. Needless to say, I had to have both!
