The Office

You have to pay to watch TV in the room, but no, we didn't pay to watch reruns of The Office. We went to the Office. It's quite famous! Never heard of it? Okay I'll tell you the Italian name, Uffitzi. They have one of the few paintings done by Michaelangelo. He mostly made statues and painted frescoes.

This is the only part of the Uffitzi where you are allowed to take pictures. Isn't that a great view of Ponte Vecchio?Oops, not close enough to the window. Ah, there's Ponte Vecchio.
We saw paintings by Leonardo also, but my favorites were the Botticelli paintings, "Spring" and "Birth of Venus". Incredible!
