May 11, p.m.
Eunice and I had a tour of the Ufizzi Galleries this afternoon. We had signed up for a tour, and our guide was fabulous. We suspect that he might be a retired art history proffessor. He was very dramatic and had excellent English. We spent a good deal of time in a gallery of paintings on wood from the 13th century--religious, of course. Next we spent in the Botticelli room with the "Birth of Venus" and "The Allegory of Spring," which he spent lots oftime on. We also saw a couple of DaVincis and ended up with a marvelous Michelangelo painting.
We stopped for pizza on theway home. We've been taking all our meals in the apartment, saving the restaurants for Paris. We have not had any more strange men coming to our door, and we are looking forward to our trip to Pisa tomorrow.
