2007 - Post-Graduation Mediterranean - Day 30

Day 30:

- Met people at breakfast. Get to Uffizi about one hour late. Called on cell.
[train to Siena]
- Meet Chinese people from Edmonton.
- Wait 3.5 hours. The Boticelli room is amazing. Birth of Venus and Spring are both there.
- Andre go to Academia with 8 other people. Waited 6 hours.
- Not a large museum but many important works. Feels unrushed since museum is reasonable size.
- Originally plan on meeting all at the Venus but did not see them in line or museum so left.
- Santa Croce -> floor and walls covered in lavish headstones and monuments. Marconi, DaVinci, Galleleo, etc...
- Some worn almost to flat marble... like their memory is being slowly erased.
- Wood beam ceiling and cool balconies (the walkway).
- Meet Andre and others back at camp.
- Met the English dude that threw up on tent. "Is that the dude that threw up in our tent?" Drink at bar and Plaza Micheangelo overlooking a misty Duomo. Andre's story of peeing off of Plaza Micheangelo.
