A Firenze da Paolo Florence

Hello there, people who make me feel valid.



(This paragraph is for the Sprock family who loves quality eats. I will do my best to have some peach gelato soon, Mrs. Sprock! )

I was just enjoying the best orange in the world. You cannot get produce in America like you can here. Florida doesn't even have anything on the...

Buongiorno!

So today is unfortunately my last and final day in Florence. So sad. Having concurred the entire city my hostel people suggested I try Fiesole (Fee-Ay-Soul-Ay) , the oldest part of the city in the hills, 30 mins by bus. So I went in search of the number 7 bus. There are 10000000 buses that all stop in the main square by the ...

Hey everyone,

Last Friday Audrey and I went to Fiesole, which was about a 10 minute bus ride from Florence. It is famous for its great views of Florence (it is on a hill) and ruins from a Roman theatre. While we were there we were also able to see an old church, explore the ruins from the theatre and baths, and tour a museum which had a...

this past weekend we had our final orientation trip with the full FUA group. we left early saturday morning (the 6th). it was a lot of bus time that weekend. assisi and perugia were great, i've never visited either before, but it was kind of miserable in the rain. we all got sick from having a tour in the rain. but the following day we went to s...

Ciao!

So last night, I went out for dinner with my friend and we went to the most Italian restaurant ever, it was Chinese, lol! Really good Chinese for that matter! I haven’t had Chinese food since Canada so it was nice to get my fix of grease, lol! Afterwards we headed out for some Gelato, my god I could marry that stuff! We also...

Today we took the train to Florence. We slept in and had breakfast at the Hilton and enjoyed the view for a short time before boarding the shuttle for the city. I was a bit nervous about catching our train as we weren't entirely sure where to go. On the way we were held up because an idiotic woman decided to park her car in the middle of the str...

Laura was ready to run today we we went running and it was a great one. we saw the cute dog again with its owner. when we got back to the appartment we did some abs and showered. I had a lot of emails to catch up on so i worked on that and blogged for a little while. i started to study for my italian quiz that was later that day at 2pm. my frien...

So after having no internet for quite some time now I am having to go back and remember everything that I have done...... am reading my diary and am just as surprised by the stuff that I have done as my parents are. This "blog" is about Florence and everything I did there. In Firenze we had free accomodation with the daughter of a customer from ...

The train ride to Florence was an adventure to say the least. After being surprised to find out our seats on the train were in a small semi-private compartment with 6 seats we thought we would have a relaxing and quite train ride to Florence. Boy we were wrong! Brian and I were settling into our seats when an Italian couple came into our compar...

Italians don't believe in air conditioning. And I am not complaining, because frankly I love the fresh air, completely despise of air conditioning myself, and tree huggers make me giggle like a little girl. Italians do believe in freakish over-infestation of blood-hungry mosquitoes. I guess its not really a choice, they are forced to deal with t...
