florence






i just realized it's been two weeks and i've forgotten to do a post about florence!
well, it was wonderful.
we got there on friday and had a bit of free time to walk around and explore before going to a restaurant (delicious) where they proceeded to serve us 8 meat courses. (not really, but the point is we ate a lot of meat and that made me VERY happy). they also put two-liter bottles of wine on each table. oy.
the next day we visited the Uffizi gallery (where DAVID is) it was very cool. i never knew he was so big
after that, we had the rest of the day free and i went to the leather market and bought a nice leather belt, some gifts and more things for myself hehe.
that night we were on our own for dinner so most of the students went to a restaurant together (my pizza had anchovies on it and i wasn't aware until i took my first bite... wasn't impressed)
the next day we took a walking tour of the city and went to a lot of cool churches (ie. the Duomo)
we returned to the leather market (it was that good)
and then that night for dinner we went to an amazing (and inexpensive) restaurant with lots of fresh pasta mmmmm...
it was definitely a delicious trip!
