I still can't get over the life I am living right now. Last thursday and friday was the usual. Classes, amazing food then going out. We seem to always end up at the same place the Lion's Fountain. Hopefully that will change soon so we can experience more places!
Alex and I woke up Saturday and decided to ask our host mom where a good day trip would be. She mention Lucca and it turned out to be a blast. My roommates and I took a bus there and spent the day riding bikes around the medieval town. We stopped at their amphitheater for lunch and a few glasses of wine. We eventually got ready to head out, returned our bikes and took naps on the bus ride home. All in all it was a really great day and nice to just be with my roommates all day.
We got back Saturday night got ready and had a few people over to pregame. After awhile and many arguments we decided we would go to Lion's Fountain to meet up with people but not go inside since we wanted to go somewhere new. Well that didn't happen. We had a few drinks there and then just called it a night.
We had all intentions of waking up and heading to Cinque Terre for the day Sunday but noone could get their act together and it just turned out to be a frustrating mess. We decided to call it quits, take a nap then go from there. We ended up taking a four hour nap! It was good because we finally realized that if we want to do something we need to just do it and not worry about everyone else, if they want to come they will. It was time for dinner when we woke up so we went into Piazza de Santo Spirito and ate at Gusta Osteria. Afterwards we decided to head up to Piazza de Michaelangelo to watch the sunset. It might be my favorite place in Firenze! I've never seen anything so beautiful!
We have a short week this week. We had class today, have it tomorrow then off Wednesday for a holiday. We are determined to make it to Cinque Terre this Wednesday! Then we have classes Thursday but none on Friday since we leave for Venice for the weekend!! My life is unreal here, I am so fortunate. I am not taking a moment for granted.
