Today was cloudy and warm, as well as very humid. Although we expected rain, it never happened. Tom went off to work again, and Martha and I pulled ourselves together and headed across the river, stopping first for lunch at the restaurant Tom and I found our first day. Then we rushed over to the Uffizi, where we had reserved tickets waiting. Again, no photos allowed, but we spent 2 hours taking in the pre-, early and full Renaissance paintings, featuring Raphael, Michelangelo, and Botticelli. Afterward, we enjoyed a gelato while watching a street performer dressed as cupid attract passerby for photos, and a darkening river scene from the Ponte Vecchio.
We were also treated to teh sight of a wedding party waiting for a cab at the Pitti Palace....
