As promised, I've posted a few photos of the enchanting city of Florence. Hope you enjoy!
We are moving in with our host families tomorrow. I'm looking forward to being able to unpack and settle down into my new life. I sure hope I'll be able to communicate with my family with the language barrier. I'm quiet enough as it is around people who speak English, how on earth will I be able to communicate with someone who will most likely only speak Italian? Oh well, I probably shouldn't be too worried about it. I'm eager to learn Italian and I feel that as long as I keep an open mind, everything should be fine.
Today we all split into four separate groups and walked to different pizzerias for dinner. Our group ended up at a rather Americanized pizzeria, but the food was amazing nonetheless. We ordered a bottle of red house wine to split among us, which I highly recommend doing if you ever go to Italy since it is excellent and relatively cheap. For my meal, I ordered a mozzarella pizza. It was literally the most delicious thing I've ever had; the crust was thin and the cheese was slippery and gooey. It's hard to describe it with words, but it tasted amazing!
For dessert, a few of us stopped to get some gelato. I had the banana and berry flavors, and I was pretty sure that I had died and gone to heaven when I tasted it. What a perfect way to end a perfect meal. My stomach is very happy right now.
Ciao!
