Day 2.
Ciao.
We arrived yesterday after an extremely long 16 hour trek. In Denver, Brooks and I met two other students studying abroad in our program so we had an additional 2 companions the rest of the way which made the experience more fun. We almost missed the last leg of the trip, the flight to Florence; we were literally running through the airport in Frankfeurt, but were allowed last minute onto our plane.
Florence is rainy. It hasn't stopped raining since my arrival. I hate the rain, but it looks like im going to learn to love it :)
The family that owns the pensione is wonderful. There is a grandmother, grandfather, their daughter, and her son. They are extremely loving and so sweet. The daughter, about 30 is the only one who speaks any english, and it is very little, so hopefully it'll help in my learning italian!
Rumor has it that our Pensione has the best food. I love it, we have great meals, always at the same times. They give us lots of food and they like it more when we finish everything, Im still full from lunch today.
We went out to an Irish pub last night. Met even more students and had a blast. Barely slept last night, the jet lag is killing me, but hopefully tonight will be better.
About to go with a friend from LMU to the drug store and take a walk down to the Duomo...lucky me :)
Arrivederci.
