Day 6: Doumo and Accademia: Collapse!
Jun. 7th, 2024 04:21 pmWe went out to see the Doumo (church and dome) and Bapistry this morning. Then we had a couple of hours on our own. I stuck close to the Doumo because we were meeting there in the afternoon. I spent a lot of time in the sun. I bought a leather purse that I really like.
Then we went to the Accademia to see the David. My phone lost power right before we saw the David, but on the other hand, there are a million pictures of it online.
Then we walked back. The group leader asked if I was tired, and I said that I was. Then later he said sharply, "Are you all right?" I collapsed on the ground. The group members gave me their water. The group leader said that I should not wear the vest that I use for pockets. Eventually, I got up and made it back under my own steam. A doctor who was staying in the hotel gave me a Gatorade type of thing that I put into water.
We had dinner in the hotel. I wasn't hungry, so I left partway through, after reassuring the waiters that it wasn't anything wrong with the food. I lay down and slept.
Right now. I'm thinking that I'll skip the Uffizi Gallery tomorrow. I found a grocery store nearby.
I'm completely confused as to what day of the week it is.
