A Day at the Uffizi and the Accademia Gallery

If you are into scenes of babies being murdered and people being skinned alive and heads being severed, and blood squirting from gaping chest wounds, and oodles and oodles of uncircumcised noodles (and by noodles, I'm talking more of the penne sized, not cannelloni), then you will surely enjoy the works of Botticelli, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Raffaello at the Uffizi and the Accademia Gallery, and at least a few pics in this post. Today Michael and I drove back to Florence and went to these two famous museums to take in all the art. Please browse through the pics and enjoy all the gore, torture, and nudity :) Tomorrow morning, we head home.

My friends have expanded their foundation to serve children of impoverished families (many live without running water or electricity and sometimes become orphans because families can't afford to care for them). Today we shopped for groceries to feed 270 children in Pisuli tomorrow. It is a special event for the children where they get to have lunch, popcorn, and pop, and watch a movie in the park. This is a HUGE deal since many of them have never gotten to experience popcorn and a movie (as well as a meal). This video is the "camp" where we took the groceries today and where we will prepare 270 sandwiches and pop popcorn tomorrow before the big event.

She said it's kind of a status thing because it's like saying, "I don't have to work because I'm well-off, so I can just hang out in my pajamas all day." (It's kind of like the pajama status thing we have in America, but it's called the "Walmart Shopper" status.) The bad news is, I only brought one pair of pajama bottoms, so I'll only get to walk around Shanghai looking all "high society" for one day. The other bad news is I think I'm getting a sty in my eye. So now that I plan to wear pants here, I might have to change the title of my posts to "Stye in My Eye in Shanghai" (to explain why, in all my pics, I will look like Quasimodo.) If only I knew of a place where I could buy cheap knock-off sunglasses...
