View of Florence from piazza di Michelangelo Well this week just flew by… I barely had time to write on here hah. This weekend I went to Florence and Pisa as you know. It was great!!! I had a lot of fun. 8 of us from school went to Florence together Saturday morning. We walked and walked and walked once we got there… SOOOO much walking. And I never want to see stairs again after this weekend… my god. We went to the Duomo and climbed the 460 some stairs to the top…. Very sore, especially because we walked across Florence to our hostel that night as well… which we had to climb the stairs to piazza di Michelangelo.. no one gave me a warning for that… That was a lot of stairs as well…. We slept in tents… with bunk beds in them… hah. It was an interesting experience that is for sure.
In the morning we walked all the way back to the train station where three of us went to Pisa… Once in Pisa we went to…. The leaning tower of Pisa of course… Guess what… MORE STAIRS!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! This time only 300 or so I believe. Mya… soooo not cool. And the walk from the train station was fairly long as well… But the view was well worth it even if I was scared to death.

We got back to Siena around 740, so not too bad. This week is going to fly by. Tuesday I had a 20 minute group presentation to do, and Thursday I have my Italian final, and Friday I have my LIS final and a 6 page paper due.. Sooo I have NO clue when I’m gonna have time for all of that. So I am positive that this week is gonna fly by. On a side note… did you know that London is an hour behind Italy… hrmm. So that is gonna mess with my head when I fly back and forth from Rome to London and back to Rome and then to JFK then Minnesota… AHHHHHH What is time? Lol. I have to go by my own time that’s just ridiculous.
Today was the third day since we arrived on May 31st that has been rain free.. How pathetic. Now that we are leaving starting Wednesday it’s supposed to be sunny and 80 for the rest of the time we are here… So not fair.
OH! I found a suitcase in Florence for 10 Euros.. I hope it holds up until I get home.. hah. Same suitcase in Siena was 30 euros so that was a good deal J. Well I’m off to shower, I feel iky.
Miss you all.. I’ll be back very very soon… Infact today ( 06-16-2008) is half way through my trip! So It’s almost time for me to return.
Okay I’m outta here. See you later
