May 3 In Florence

May 3 Thursday
In Florence with Angel

So there I was at this ticket place near one of the greatest museums Uffizi Gallery and you buy tickets w reservation only here for about 10 places w art. I wait and she tells me I can only get ticket for Friday afternoon and I say I will just buy a tik no reservation and she says no. I walk away amazed at the Europe of 2007 and this man on line stops me and says he has extra tik and reservation for now and to wait. So we walk to Uffizi and he explains he does tours. We get there and everywhere are lines confusing cause all different. He gets me on line and I buy ticket – same price of 9.5 Euro – and he stays with me to be sure I get in cause tik is for 12 and its 2p. As I walk in - after hearing people say you can wait on line for more than 3 hours – I feel once again Someone is watching over me here. The museum is marvelous for Renaissance Art - - as I walked in I cried to be in the presence of what I so love. Isnt that what makes life meaningful and rich? The man who guided me said I may have also helped him cause I told him to see Cezanne in Florence exhibit – he could definitely take people to that – it was easy to get in there and just wonderful.
It rained yesterday and warm temp dropped and I have a cold – so I decided to get a warm sweater – without paying too much. Part of Florence is like 5th avenue NY with all the top designers stores. I came upon a place Blunauta and walked in – she speaks English and took out from back sweaters reduced and I got what I wanted really nice wool and cashmere half price for $35.
I am learning here being here what is really important and those things that make the Ego go round and round are not
This morning I change hotels and have reservation to see the David so I am hoping to leave my bags here and go…
