Update on Firenze

Well hello....Update time
So I last left of talking about the journey into Florence, now I am going to recap the firts week here and give first impressions...

First impression of florence when I actually got to walk around was aww, The city is so beautiful and historic which I really liked. Also very confusing at first to get around because the streets end and begin at weird points. But once you get used to it then its alright, though I still get lost every once in a while. It is a tad bit colder, but when you live in a place like southern california I think its cold if it hits 60 haha, but you get used to it. Lately its been a little warmer to not wear jackets( but still long sleeve) out.

The Food..... Now when I first thought of Florence I was like oooo food food food. The food has beeen really good. I am trying to step out of comfort level as in with food( Because I am so damn picky-ask my mom for a reference lol) But I have been trying to challenge myself. I have had a lot of pasta!!! yum yum. Some places are fantatsic and some places that i have gone are good. The Tiramusi is soooo good. I seriously love it and since i have a sweet tooth I feel like I will be getting that a lot. ohh and GELATO mmmm who needs ice cream.. seriously its that good. The other day I got a gelato sandwhich( which consists of two waffels circles, gelato in between and chocloate sauce poured on top.) It was so good and I was only one to finish mine( in record time I may add.) The pizza is a lot different from what we have in the states for sure but It is good, I am still trying to decide if its better but not at the moment but its very good. The only thing is that they dont have pepperoni here instead its salami or something which was a little different.

The Sights....So far I have been to the Duomo which is a beautiful church in the center of the city. We walked all the way to the top( 4 hundred in some stairs) wow talk about a workout. I mean seriously if I do that a couple of times a week I could lose some serious weight.haha but halfway through you can look up and see the painted ceiling. Wow very nice and you should def. see. Then you get to the top after gasping for breath( which I was not) and it is a beautiful view of the city. We took some photos of the group which i will get and put up soon. Also so far I have gone to galleria academia which is where none other then the beautiful man named David is kept. The museum itself was very interesting with the different paintings and sculptures. But of course when you see the David it is mesmorizing. I mean seriously he is most gorgeous man I have ever seen minus the color and he is stone but the sculture was very detailed like it was a real person. Molto Bene!!!

School...ehhh forget school. Just playing I have finished my first week of school and it was very nice.
My clases: Fashion Marketing, Italian, Wines of Italy( best class offered at a school), Anthropology-Fashion and desirability, Intro to Jazz.

Classes are very good so far. I like my jazz class and had it today for the start of the second week. My schecdule is soo good. I have one class monday, Tues-2 Italian and Anthropology, Wed-2 Jazz and Fashion Marketing, Thurs-2 Italian and Wines of Italy, and no class on Fridays!!!! so my schedule is looking pretty nice.

My apartment=Love. My apartment is like a modern Ikea inspired apartment is fully furnished. I live three other guys.It is colorful( my room is the blue room, the other bedroom is orange) The living room is red, kinda makes me think of my moms house because she was crazy and painted every room in our house.ha but It is nice to make that connection with your childhood home. My bathroom is the best part. We have a nice shower with one of the big shower heads.oooo be jealous. We have a washer machine and for drying( which I have done two loads since I have been here) we result to putting then our heaters trust me it works to dry. The only downside is that when you watch a towel and dont dry it becomes a crunchy towel but its not that bad to use just right after. We have lots of storage space and shelves. The apartment is a nice 20-25 minute walk but its nice that I get so much exercize. Well that is pretty much it. I would add nightlife but I need something for the next blog entry.

Also I am going to Venice This week on a trip so I am very excited, so I will update you very soon. Until next time!
Ciao!!!
