Florence Day 2 (and 3)

Yer to all and to all a good yer,

We woke up early yesterday to get on line for Della Academia. While I was in line , I honestly felt like I was basically paying 10 Euro so that all of you wouldn't call us cultureless jerks for not seeing the David. But the museum really lived up to its reputation and was worth both the money and the wait.
Our next stop was the Ufizzi Galeria, a tremendous art museum with an even longer wait. We passed the time by playing the longest game of fuck marry kill that I have ever been a part of (about an hour and a half). Once inside, the mood changed dramatically as we viewed some of the most impressive paintings and sculptures that we have ever seen including Botticelli's The Birth of Venus and The Annunciation.
We decided to check out an old science museum that was right next door to the Ufizzi, hoping for some awesome hands on Schmidt-esque experiments but the climax of the exhibit was actually Gallileo's middle finger that was preserved in a glass jar.
We ate a quick dinner and then went to the Odeon (with every other American in Florence) to see the Order of the Phoenix in English. On our way back to the hostel after the film, Charlie and David took a break from their ferociously deep Harry Potter conversation (which I opted out of thank god) to realize that Alexander Seife and his camp friend were right in front of us walking the other way. They had just arrived from Rome that day and were looking for something to do, so we invited them back to our hostel to chill in the courtyard for a little bit. After about an hour or so of swapping the few Euor-stories that we had we all decided to call it a night and they split.
Today we woke up a little bit later, checked out of the Ostello Archi Rossi and walked across the city to the Synagogue of Florence. Definitely worth the walk.
For future travelers staying here at Archi Rossi, check above room 54... "GET THERE!"

Passionately,
Rob (Charles and Z. Co)
