Spring Break!

Buon giorno Amici Americani,

What a week! It's hard to believe that I'm halfway through the semester! In a month and half I will be all alone on a continent where I know absolutely no one. I have noticed that I feel much more alone over here, as I do not have a cell phone which can send and receive texts/calls from both family and friends whenever I want. I only have internet at my apartment, versus all the time on my phone (sounds weird, but that was really nice to instantly google and locate something!). 

Sighhh. But, atlas, I am in Italy, and those feelings are offset by the beautiful nature of the city of Florence and all the places that I've been to. Sunday I plan to take a nature hike and see where the heck I end up. I found a few Florence guide books in the apartment, and I'm just going to pack a lunch and gooo. I hope pictures will follow. 

I have so many blogs waiting in the wings, but it takes time to upload pictures, and I just now have some free time to finally finish them!

Just a quick shout out to all the family that have encouraged me to go along with this idea and really made this possible, I can't thank you enough! It has been an enriching experience, filled with exploration and personal growth that I could never trade away. Love you all!


Here is just a random day out and about in Florence!



 










These little street sweepers will sneak up on you! haha


Florentine Police








Here are some shots of the "Ponte Vecchio" which means, "The Old Bridge".  I will actually blog about the bridge, as it holds some historical importance, which is always fun!






















Vespas are everywhere!!!
hahaha.



Ciao for now!
