Giardino di Boboli

Let's start this off with a bit of a bang. Knowing my love for puns, I couldn't help but resist making a play on Palazzo Pitti, the Medici family's new palace after the Palazzo Vecchio. I told my roomies that Brad Pitti lived there. HA! (Smeek/Bunz, please tell me you got that.)

I've had a very text-heavy few days, so I will let the pictures speak for themselves. We first visited the Giardino di Boboli (accessed by the Palazzo Pitti) and then saw the Museo delle Porcellane (Porcelain Museum) and a costume exhibit in the palazzo.

Today's word of the day is giardino, or garden. I know, I'm feeling a bit uninspired. In my defence, it's been a tough few days of retracing my steps!
