Welcome to Florence!
Went to Florence again this weekend. This time I stayed there Friday and Saturday night. I booked a hostel by myself, just so I could have the freedom to do what I want, when I wanted. It was really fun. Florence is a great city. I really enjoyed being there again. We had a tour of the Uffizzi Gallery with our Italian history professor. That was interesting, but it is just kind of hard to pay attention to someone talking about paintings for such a long time. My attention span is just not that incredible.
This is that token view of Florence from the Piazza Michelangelo. It really is a great place to hang out and watch the sun set.
Roommates! on the overlook of Florence.
This is a Russian church that was near my hostel. I coudn't get inside because the gates were closed, so I just looked at it from the outside. It reminded me of being in Russia....
Some friends that are studying in Castiglion Fiorentino met us there in Florence, that was a great suprise, so I hung out with them for the rest of the day.
Saturday was a pretty relaxing day. We just took our time going places and hung out in lots of piazzas for a really long time, just enjoying the sun and being there. I had McDonald's for lunch and it seemed like the best hamburger I've had in my life. It tasted so good. ohh yeah. I love overseas McDonalds.
We are leaving on Wednesday morning for our trip to southern Italy. We will visit Pompeii, Amalfi, and Naples. Then I'm off to Denmark! I am going to visit Sara! I fly to Copenhagen from Rome on Friday evening. I cannot wait to see my amazing girlfriend. I'll be there for 3 days (I'm skipping a couple days of class, but its totally worth it).
So...we just finished our first project and we have presentations today in about 30 minutes... I guess I'll go think about what I'm gonna say.
Hey! Sounds like you are having a blast. I want to go to Florence! Bradley and I will be in Venice over Spring break but I don't know if we will make it to Florence. The Russian church looks so amazing. I am excited you get go see Sara. That will be fun. So yes we will be here that weekend and would love to hang out! We don't have a cell phone but we have skype and we check our emails and facebook regularly. There are lots of places we could make a meeting place. Let us know what you are planning and we will make it happen. Have a great day!
