More's the Pitti
We decided we must finish Florence with the Pitti Palace, the splurge Julia could not afford in her vagabond halcyon days backpacking after college. The palace requires several days advance training; after walking with your head down for days you can better enjoy the ceilings, most of which were 'redecorated' a couple of centuries later. The Medici family had a mighty fine abode, and the collections of paintings are hung "family style", as in, randomly, where ever they fit. Some are not so famous, but in every room there is a treasure or two. This collection rivals the Vatican. Now that's some booty.
I'll finish Florence with a collection of photos of my friends.
