Yesterday was our second day in Florence. We visited the Uffici art museum. It is incredible not only because of how much art they have, but because of the deep history in the collection. We walked around for a few hours admiring the works of art. I think someone could easily have spent a whole day walking around the Uffici. Unfortunately, most of the first floor was under renovation so we missed a good bit of the collection. After the Uffici, we went to visit a group home and day treatment center for people with mental illness. The day treatment center was similar to what you would find in the United States. They offer art therapy, music therapy, personal counseling, and so much more. There wasn't much time after these visits, but we are heading back to Florence today!
The day treatment center
ok, I confess that I did go to McDonalds, or rather the McCafe for a little McSnack with my McFriends (this was the game we played...). They had a very different menu. This is the picture of the fried Brie they offer, along with curly fries or a CBO (Chicken Bacon Onion sandwich). I had a pastry filled with Nutella...yum!
