Florence

Feb. 10
Today, we went to Uffizi museum. My first view was of mideavel gold-back alter peices. My favorite painting there was the Annunciation by Lenard DaVaincie, because it is balanced, neat, beautiful, andmost importantly for me realistic. I also like the Birth of Venus.
After that, we went to another musum, It had mostly stuffed animals. They had entire rooms full of every animal imaginiable. Even a Lesser egyptian Jerboa! I also didn't know walruses were so big! They had mostly birds, in the most amazing colors, even neon! They also has the human anatomy made in wax. It took them ten years to make one body! After that we went back to the apartament.

We left our apartament at ten, and went to the Bargello musum. It was not as good as the Uffizi, and it was mostly statues. We only spent half an hour in their. Then we went back, and I read a book called DragonSong for a bit. It;s about a girl named Meonlly and her nine fire lizards in Harper hall. It's in the Dragon Riders of Pern, it's very good.
At seven, we went to meet Mom's email friend for dinner. They luckily have two children around our age, a 13 year old girl, and an 11 year old boy. They are VERY nice, and have even read warriors! They came over at 10 for coffe, and so we played on their DSI's with them.

We had to wake up early to make it to the anthropology museum, becuase it closed at one. It was very cool to see all this stuff from other cultures, they had some creepy skeletons that were doing the scream! They had fuzzy underwear as well!
After that we went to the Plazza Medici Ricardi. The first thing we saw was the famous chaple with another version of the "Adoration of the Magi" couvering it was very beautiful. All of thr rooms were lovely, but then we saw the roof of a ball room. It was couvered in Greek myths. It was sooo beautiful. After that we tried to go to some other musumes, but they were all closed. Mom's friend, and her family came over again at 6, and we also went for gelatie.
