Fiesole
Ok, so I haven’t blogged the past couple of days because I have just been going to class and everything was pretty much business as usual. Although one thing I do have to include quickly is that we went on a trip to the Central Market in my Food and Culture class and we did a blind testing, I ate cow stomach! Yuck. It didn’t really taste that bad it was just the texture that was...
Under the Tuscan Sun
So, last night on my birthday we were still pretty tired from our AMAZING time at Club 21 the night before. We decided to go to a relaxing dinner at Acqua Al 2. It was SO delicious. The waitress and owner were so nice to us and recommended we get the samplers. We got the salad sampler and it was sooo good. That was followed by the pasta sampler and since pasta is my favorite food I loved it. My...
BIRTHDAY
Tonight I turn 20 years old in Firenze! After a long day of classes I am so ready to begin the celebrations with my awesome roommates!
I am doing so much shopping here!! It’s really bad for my bank account but I kind of like it at the same time…
Piazzalo Michelangelo
Today we had a very lazy Sunday, all of us sleeping in past 12. Once we finally got up and were able to get our acts together we ventured out to explore more of the city. We climbed to the top of the Piazzalo Michelangelo, which is basically a beautiful view of all of Florence but in order to get there you have to climb up like a billion steps but it is so worth it. Then, we went out to a...
Shopping!
Today we had to wake up pretty early to go to the school and pick up our schedules and textbooks but after we went right home and took and nap and were ready for the day. We ventured out for a little shopping. I got the cutest brown leather bag from a lady in one of the market places I am absolutely obsessed with it. I also got a really cute and warm circle scarf. The markets are the best...
Finally here!
Well, I made it the last leg but let me tell you it was not easy. Once we left Germany (after much trouble from security) we boarded this tiny little Lufthansa plane and headed off to Florence. The bird’s eye view was absolutely stunning but when we landed the airport was disappointing, looking pretty much like an airport. A bunch of people in our group lost bags along the way so we were...
Germany
Right now I am sitting in the Frankfurt Airport. This is really good news because this means I made it through the longest leg of the trip! A full 7 hours on one flight is definitely a feat for me. Luckily I was next to a girl who was close to my age so I was able to talk to her and keep myself somewhat occupied. One very positive thing I do have to say about Lufthansa is that the hot towels...

Pre-Departure
Tomorrow is the big day! At around 4:20 pm I will be boarding a plane headed towards Frankfurt, Germany where I will meet a connecting flight over to my destination, Florence. I am going with my best friends Krista and Christy so this should be interesting! I’m freaking out, nervous to say goodbye and be on my own for four months but I think it’s finally time. I will miss all my...
