--Happy Friday! Today was quite the productive day of errands! My friend Nikki and I went around wandering, and in this adventure we accomplished several things. We got took some photographs, saw a really neat stationary store (with ink, pens, wax seals, etc.), bought groceries, dropped off my film to get developed (get excited!), and most importantly: got our Uffizi passes!
“What is a Uffizi pass?” you might ask. Well, it is the most magical, fantasy-esque thing for an artist, of course!
The Uffizi pass lets you into the Uffizi museum as many times as you want (for the full year), and is also an unlimited pass to get into the following: the Accademia Gallery, the Pitti Palace, the Boboli Gardens, Museum of the Medici Chapels, Museum of San Marco, and so many other wonderful places! With our shiny, new cards, we decided to browse through the Uffizi art museum. It is such a lovely thought to know that I can come back as many times as I would like.

We found an exhibit of woodcut art from 1400’s-1600’s. Please note: that is a terribly rough estimate of dates, as I don’t quite remember. Nikki and I sat and sketched Andrea Andreani’s Eva, which was a woodcut made from three blocks in 1587.

A great day in Florence with a friend, and hopefully many more days of art and exploration to come!
