Il Ghiro Guest House Florence

... But Florence isn’t hard to navigate either. If you know the few big roads and the general direction of places, you can’t really get lost. I found a food market (since I love markets) and wandered around a while, and bought the beans that my mom had specifically requested, then went to meet Katy and Steve. We then went to the Duomo, where we took pictures and I lit candles for Granddaddy and my boss’s sister, then hung out and took in ...

... Cranberry Sauce, Stuffing, Potatoes, and Mixed Vegetables. For dessert pumpkin pie, ice cream, and apple cider! It was nice to spend the night with classmates and a few professors.

Friday night, we had yet another Thanksgiving with all of my friends. Everyone prepared their favorite dish and we spent the night telling stories of our families Thanksgivings.

... dans les jardins!

ensuite on est aller voir le vrai "David" de michealange. installer au bout d,un aller d'un petit muse au gros prix! c'est impressionant de voir sa grandeur et surtout de penser qu'il a ete realise dans un seul bloc de marbre, sculte a la main avec les outils de l'epoque. Comme dans tout bon muse, il est impossible prendre des photos!

... since some monks were on the site a few hundred years ago.

Walked around Baboli Gardens which were pretty stunning and crazy to think they were someones backyard at one stage.

After dinner with Zoe, Nonie, James and Kerrin we walked around looking a bar and then when we found it didn't like it so just got 3 bottles of wine for 10 Euro and headed back to the hostel - only to see 4 bottles for 10 Euro around the corner!!!

Hi Everyone!

After an exhausting weekend in Brussels, I was in for yet another treat with cooking classes in Florence. Organized by my school, a group of us met with a chef for some lessons.

We were taught how to prepare typical Tuscan cuisine including Ribollita and Stuffed zucchini-flowers.

Everything was delicious & I look forward to trying these recipes at home!

... He did not complete the sculptures as he did not have time, or because the sponsor did not approve of the way that the sculpture was progressing. Of course Michelangelo had assistants who would begin the sculptures, while he would do the finer work.

The statue of David was truly magnificent, although not perfect. The hands and feet of the sculpture were proportionally a little big. I did not realise ...

... and we remembered there was a few at 6pm. so we arrived at the train station in just the nick of time because there was a train leaving at 6:32 and we arrived at the station at 6:20. it was perfect. we bought our ticket and headed home. i slept a lot on the way home because we were on our feet basically all day. great day and when we returned to Florence we stopped at the market to get some fruit and stuff to eat and for snacks for Cinque Terra the next day.

Great day!

... Caprese (fresh buffalo mozarella, tomato, and basil) with homeade meatballs and sauce. Later, it was another cup of gelato (geesh, that stuff is fab) We did manage to get a few hours of sleep before we rec'd the Florence wake up call; all the cathedrals that have bells begin to ring individually starting at 7am. Yes, 7am. By allowing each church to ring by itself, the entire process takes quite a bit of time, but the sound echoing through the narrow cobbled streets is completely ...

... this lovely hotel offers an impressive salon for guests to relax in. All rooms are simply appointed, have private bathrooms, and get great light. The room amenities include a fan (no air conditioning), heat, a telephone, and a safe. You can watch TV in their lounge, have a drink at the bar, and enjoy breakfast (by request only). All in all, this place offers a good bargain.

... raum" mozartiano è già presente il "chaosmos"."Zeit-raum", nella sua originarietà, significa spazio-tempo ovvero il senso del periodo quale fu formulato in origine: "perì-odòs" limite intorno ad una strada, ad un sentiero. 31 La musica mozartiana è la prima musica col senso dello "zeit-raum", del periodo che ha in sè una simmetria, rigorosità, completezza apollinea, cosmica ma che, nella sua essenza, al suo interno conserva e svela un disordine, un'asimmetria, una tonalità che va oltre ...
