Last Day in Florence!

Today was our last day in Florence, so Hanna and I decided to go to a museum. The most famous one is Uffizi, which has a lot of Renaissance artwork. While I remember loving the Louvre, I was not that impressed with Uffizi. I suppose I am not that interested in artwork with Christian themes. Uffizi has a lot of virgin Madonna paintings. I really like paintings and sculptures associated with Greek Mythology; Uffizi had some. One of my favorite paintings, the Birth of Venus, is on their brochure...but I did not see it in the gallery. I did see that in the Louvre though, so I am not sure what is up with that.

That night our hostel was hosting a party, so Hanna and I went. It is kind of nice to go to the bar in our hostel because everyone speaks English there. After being abroad for a while it is actually comforting to be in a room full of English speakers...I remember in Ecuador I did not like to hang out with English speaking groups, but that is probably because I was very comfortable with Spanis.

Anyhow, we ended up foing to this place called Fish Pub with good American music. The DJ was from Cameroon and he played Britney Spears for us. We met some people from Albania who suggested another club called Twice, but we did not like it. It was full of really gross smelly old men, so Hanna and I just went to McDonalds. I paid 8 euro for chicken nuggets and fries!!! A complete rip off, but nothing else was open.
