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...

Well, this morning went off ... as good as can be expected. I woke up in time to liesurely walk to class and stop by a cafe, my goal being to become a regular. When I did stop in to a promising looking bar called Denim's Cafe, I made a couple mistakes. Learn from me, because apparently this is going to take me a couple of times before it reallly...

Michelle and Mom got to come visit me for nine days. We went to at least ten churches in Florence, and seven museums. And went to Rome for three days, and took a day trip to a small town perched on the Tuscan hills overlooking Florence called Fiesole. After all of that, I'm very tired, as I'm sure they are too, especially after their long plane ...

We got up early. A bus took us from Monterosso to Florence. I slept on the bus. We went straight to a menswear tradeshow. This is where vendors come and exhibit what their products will be for the next season. We walked around the show for awhile. When we met back with the group two of the girls didn't make it on time. The rest of the group had ...

I'm back in Italy, this time to see Cinque Terra, Venice and Florence. I managed to arrive to Nice exhausted and leave in the same state. First night I arrived in Nice, tired and antisocial but made an effort and ate dinner with a table that looked chatty and happy. I sat down eating my Muslie and yoghurt(a regular dish in my travels)and the nex...
