These 3 day weekends feel so long! I think that will be good when I travel and stuff but this weekend it was great to get to know Florence. Thursday night Kelly cooked dinner in the apartment- listen to this deliciousness- salad with grilled chicken and peppers, pesto tortelini, penne with tomatoes, olive oil and fresh garlic, bread with seasoned olive oil and brie cheese, and of course lots of wine. I got hungry while recalling that dinner. It was so much fun- I loved having a ton of people in my apartment, it made it feel like home :)
The night after that we went to a club called Astor Place which was pretty nice, Emily and I sang Rufus Wainwright and Death Cab For Cutie in the streets...and Alli and I walked home together and witnessed a car accident- a woman was driving her little car and hit a bunch of mopeds and a guard rail and then just hopped out and had this "oops" expression on her face...and I walked home barefoot because cobble stones and high heels just were not working for me.
The next day we walked around and shopped all day- everyone was looking for boots etc...
and at night we walked to the Ponte Vecchio which was so incredibly beautiful!! And we got 4 euro gelato...the best ever- I tried a new flavor "panna rossa" it tasted like a caramel explosion and I'm in love.
This weekend was so amazing and there was so much that I loved about it but I would have to say that the highlight of my weekend was going to Tiffany's and getting my Frank Gehry earrings! They are so beautiful and they make me feel like a million bucks! :) :) thank you so so much mom!! <3
Another cool thing we did- Saturday evening mass at the Duomo! I was staring at the fresco on the ceiling the whole time so it might has well have been in Italian...But the experience was very fun. I wish that there would have been music but I'm sure that Easter mass will have music.
Yesterday we went to an antique market and walked around for a while- they had some really cool pieces and I am excited to go again- every Sunday it's in a different piazza so that should be very fun...
So I think I'll be going to Rome this weekend with a ton of people, I'm very excited for that and then the following weekend we were thinking about possibly going to Croatia! I didn't think anyone would be interested in going there but surprisingly people were, I just think it would be something cool and different.
March is going to be really busy with Paris and visitors so I would like to travel these next few weekends...so yeah.
I think that's all for now- loving this city so much more with each day- I have been soaking it in and I am starting to really feel at home.
Love and miss you all!
p.s. the food here is totally out of this world :)
