We woke and went to the Galleria Delgi Uffizi and looked at yet more art. The Boticelli looked very cartoon-ish to me. I didn't like the German artists (I can't remember exactly who) at all. We did get to see some DaVinci stuff: The Adoration of the Magi sketch, and some other sketches. They had a big section devoted to DaVinci, but it was at the very end of the museum. The gallery was really crowded with tour groups and people who had no sense of personal space. After about 2 hours, I was very anxious and needed to leave and get some air. Next time we go to a museum I will bring my trazadone, because I physically had to push my way through people at the very end as I was getting a bit panicky.

I wish the DaVinci stuff had been closer to the front as that is part I really wanted to see. I did really like Bia, The Illegitimate Daughter of Cosimo I de' Medici by Bronzino.

One thing I noticed though was the very feminine statues of men. I know many of the artists were gay and liked girly men, but I seriously would walk toward a statue and think, what a beautiful woman. Then come around to the front for quite a surprise. Never seen a woman with one of those before.

Wende went home after feeling sickish and I went shopping. I found a bunch of street vendors in a market and decided t hold of on purchases until tomorrow as Wende will probably want to go if she is feeling better.

I decided to head out to some gay bars in hopes of good dancing. There were lots of fun gay English speaking boys who oddly enough kept buying me beer. I don't get that. It's not like they want anything I have. We ended up drinking and dancing until about 4:30 am. I had so much fun.

Tomorrow I wake and see David
