Florence
December 5, 2008 Ciao! Florence è molto bella! This is my third day in Italy, and I am loving every minute of it. I would say look at pictures, but they truly do not do it justice. Our group has been to many famous chiesi (churches) and musei (museums) with wonderful artwork and statues. All of the work we have seen is around the Renaissance period, and I can appreciate it for its beauty and the time spent building it, but I think that I am also interesed in their modern culture. Oh! And the fashion! Italiani qui (Italians here) are walking pieces of art, with their individual styles and unique fashion articles. I would love to come back to study the modern culture, for a summer or a semester. I would also love to plan a trip to bring all of my friends. Florence seriously è molto bella, and I feel as though I am walking aroud in a picture book or the internet living inside their wonderful places.Oggi it rained the entire trip, but tomorrow we leave for Siena and then doppodomani (day after tomorrow) we leave for Cortona, which is also supposed to be sunny. I will try to keep this updated, but with the time change and the differences it is not the easiest to do. Not to mention I cannot spell in English in the first place, and now I have to switch between italiano e inglese and the keyboard here is really weird as far as positions.
Addio,
Buonasera,
