I woke up late today. The previous night’s debauchery hit me hard. I guess it was the wine.

I decided to try to see the David again and was rewarded with another huge line. This time I decided to stand it in and deal with it. After an hour and a half of listening to four girls behind me do their best Dane Cook impressions, I finally got in. David and the other Michelangelos at the Academia were very cool. I like sculpture more than paintings. I’ve also seen more naked people in the last two days than I’d seen in years. Paintings, sculpture, even advertisements have nudes in them. It might be immature, but as an American you’re just not prepared for it!

The second stop of the day was the Picci Gardens. I didn’t have to wait inline for this one at all! It was a refreshing change. I wondered around these for a long time. You could actually lose people for five minutes at a time, and there were spring flowers everywhere making it smell wonderful. I got a lot of pictures of the gardens and I’ll try to share them soon! Planet Holt is hard to upload efficiently to… I took the night off because I was still tired from the previous night… but we’re headed to Sienna tomorrow!
