I did not go to a monument today. I saw no stain glass windows, statues, or paintings. Lunch was another sandwich, and dinner was chicken that left much to be desired.
Even so, it was a good day. The sun shone brightly and I was inspired to get out and walk around. I ventured to one of the shopping streets and ended up with a pair of shoes. I now have two pair, and shower flip flops; I am excited to have variety.
Kayla and I purchased a kilogram of strawberries. They are so delicious, and came in a cute wooden box that I shall try to keep. It is very small, and I feel like it will easily fit in my suit case. And, if I have to dump it later, it wont be a big deal. It is just a little wooden box that came with a kilogram of strawberries after all.
Class today was filled with discussion of Italy! Tomorrow we catch an early plane to Pisa, but unfortunately do not get to see the leaning tower. I am a little dissapointed about that. I very much wanted to take a picture where it looked like I was holding the tower up. Cheesey, touristy, yes yes, I know. From Pisa we will take a coach to Florence, where we will spend the next week or so. Apparently, in Italy they also eat small breakfasts, huge lunches, and moderate dinners.
I dreamed of pancakes last night. Fluffy, delicious pancakes covered in berry syrup and peanut butter. Give me a second, I need a tissue to wipe the drool from my lip....that's better. I believe I am going through withdrawals.
The point of this blog: I do not know what the wifi situation is like in Florence, so if you do not hear from me for a while, I am probably neither dead, dying, or have run off with an Italian boy on his vespa. I probably just can't get free internet access. But, I intend to still write blogs, and post them all as soon as I get the chance. So please, faithful readers, don't give up on me!
