My Year of the Life of Leisure

I left my job, left my apartment, sold most everything in that apartment and embarked on a year of travelling and leisure. I am working on writing a couple of books. This might be one of them... But then, my chief pursuit is leisure, so who knows exactly what will happen.

On NOT going to the Uffizi

Yes. I know it's a crime. However, after waiting in line (on a gorgeous, hot, sunny day) for 90 minutes and not moving at least 1/2 way through the line, I gave up. I plan on going to Milan tomorrow, and if I wake up early enough and have the energy, I will try the Uffizi before catching my train. Otherwise, I will sadly give the Uffizi a miss. My guidebook recommends reservations to go to this museum, but the reservations are sold out for this week...

In any case, I will hopefully find a CD shop today, and buy the two Italian CDs I want, and then go to the Accademia, and hope the lines to see David aren't as ridiculous as those at the Uffizi.

Since I didn't imagine the line at the U would be longer than one hour, I didn't even put my book in my bag...

At least I will (hopefully) have new music to listen to while I wait at the Accademia...
