I had a great day of hiking before the snow rolled in, and now things should get interesting (full story to come on Monument Valley and the View Hotel).
Uffizi Gallery The Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy is packed with Renaissance paintings. To avoid an artistic overload, please consider seeing the entire collection over two visits. Rooms 1-15, which highlight the Florentine Renaissance, would be for the first visit. The second visit could be devoted to rooms 16-45 which emphasizes High Rensaissance to later Italian and European paintings.
