Florentine Archaeology
|
You had me at "archaeology"
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
Marvelously beautiful city. We were there for 2 days. Could have spent a month and not seen it all.
Ah! Been there last fall, fantastic! Unfortunately, the Palace was closed so we could only admire it from the outside. But the Uffizi took up all the time anyways.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Aww, and I thought this was going to be a thread about ancient spinach.
No matter. I've never made it to Florence. Milan, Rome, and (once) Taranto. Italian provincials are lovely, generous, warm hearted people. Romans could give Parisians lessons in pointless snobbery. Boru

I don't actually remember a ton about Florence - I remember that my hotel room had a pretty view of the Duomo dome, I remember seeing San Lorenzo, one of my favorite interiors, the stairway of the Lorentian Library, to die for, I missed the Medici Chapel because there was a huge line, climbing the dome, and then walking around the shopping district eating gelato with the grad students I was palling around with. Oh, and this dinner we had...

I always found that the "House Wine" in Italy was pretty good.
