Today we went to the Uffizi. Just as gorgeous as the art work was the actual building itself. Taking photos not allowed. Stand outs for me were the faces of the Botticelli women and children, Rosalla Camiera’s Felicita Sartori AND the walk to the toilets! Tim loved the Siennese painters, Bottelli’s ennunciation, and the views from the windows of the Uffizi. Lilli loved pictures of Mary and baby Jesus (of which there were hundreds!).
The afternoon was spent buying Christmas presents and fillers topped off with a simple dinner starting with prosciutto on baguette and then ham and fig ravioli by the fire. We awoke at midnight to church bells chiming all around us and rain on the roof. Bliss but for the bed.
