Funny NYT article on Florence (from 1998)

I searched the Times archives for more info, and I found this funny article. Since I travel like that (sort of), this really made me laugh.

But at least I don't have two kids in tow.

Egad, OP.

You are going to give Florence more than 4 hours, aren't you?

I've about 24 hours.

My rough plan is here:

I really think that I was sleepwalking in 1999. I easily had (at least?) 48 hours, and all I remember are the Uffizi and David. I wonder what I was doing on that trip....

That article really made me laugh.

The article is, indeed, very amusing.

And it makes your itinerary seem downright leisurely...!

Well, I'm not expecting to cover everything. I've my limits also. I know that if I've missed something, that can be a reason to return in the future.

Actually now that I read the NYT article again, why did they waste half an hour on the inside of Palazzo Vecchio?

I should check the Michelin rating on this.

I don't want to miss something.
