I like art. I like art galleries too. Sometimes the art is worth the aching feet and the inflated food prices. Sometimes it's worth it just to see the architecture of the building. I regret not going inside the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona because I thought I couldn't afford it. I couldn't really, but I wish I had gone anyway. On the other hand, I am also so glad I went into the Guggenheim in New York. The art is amazing there, but the building itself is a true masterpiece. (You can see one of my photos of it here.)
The Uffizi Gallery is beautiful but I'm more glad that I could witness this scene: An Australian family on holiday to Italy. A shared joke and some cheeky grins. Seeing this kind of breaks my heart in a weird way. This picture really takes me back to the loving warmth of a family holiday. This family might take away memories from this day that they hold onto for a long time. Even if nostalgia makes them seem better than they were at the time.
