On the way to San Marco, we saw a toy store that sells military miniatures, which are plastic or metal kits that can be assembled and painted to look like the uniforms and people that fought in wars a long time ago; I used to paint miniatures for a hobby when I was young, so I bought a couple of Airfix plastic kits of Henry VIII and Ann Bollyn. Perhaps I'll start painting again (I'm psyched!). We then continued on to San Marco.
The Academia is a must to visit if only to see Michelangelo's David. Its huge and amazing and a must-see.
We went to a bookshop that specializes in books in English because I was almost done with the books I'd brought; we traded in the two I'd finished, and got a copy of Hemmingway's The Green Hills of Africa and Joyce's The Dubliners (I really like both of these authors); first though I'm going to read a book Aviva just finished, The Girl With a Pearl Earring which is a novel about a maid to Vermeer that sat for the famous painting.
