Della Robbia Florence

... loved. The price was a little high, so I left and looked around a little more, then decided on the highest price I would pay for the purse that I had wanted. I went back and offered, but they said they couldn’t go that low, but countered with a price only 5 euros more than I had wanted to spend- SOLD. Ok I know I said that’s as high as I wanted to go, but 5 euros more isn’t much, and it was Italian leather, made in Florence, and a ...

Happy Thanksgiving!

I spent the morning taking an Italian exam!!! The afternoon was a little more fun, touring Palazzo Pitti with my Art History class.

It was a little strange spending it without everyone but my school put together a little gathering for us. A group of us dined on a typical American Thanksgiving at a local restaurant. We were served Butternut Squash soup with bread, Turkey ...

nous sommes rester a florence pour terminer notre visite la ville en allant aux jardins boboli et bardini, situe dans la cours du palais pitti. Deux grand jardins qui a cette date n'ont plus autant a offrir qu'en ete. il n'y a plus de fleur, et la moitie des arbres n;ont plus de feuille, mais on a pu constater l'ampleur de la propriete en passant tout l'apres midi a ...

... photo and video exhibition on display which was really cool - need to look up the Patti Smith video he did and see if I can watch it in full.

Found a stall in the markets selling tripe on bread rolls with parsley and olive oil- super yumm!!! Found out later it's another Florence local specialty.

Went to Farmacia Sta Maria Novella which is a really cool epothicary/pharmacy that has been making lotions, potions, elixers and ...

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!

I'll update you soon,

... I return). But, it was well worth it; the views over Florence were great and set the scene that I am in a different place. Windy and cold tho. I didn't realise that Tuscany is the region - i thought it was a town - and Florence is the main city in the Tuscan region.

Wandered down to the river looking at markets and stalls as I went. Really nice bridges. It is quiet here relative to the ...

... lines of "How on earth did the Americans beat us at soccer?" Pretty understandable. The U.S. has other major sports more popular than soccer, and so therefore our best athletes often go on to play football or basketball. In Europe, soccer is life. Excuse me...fútbol.

I was then incredibly surprised and taken aback by something one Italian guy said. My dad mentioned something to this jovial-looking pizza delivery man about the American victory, and the guy ...

... as this was billed as a chocolate tasting and I am very disappointed as I had visions of chocolate delights.) Of course there is a gift shop which I do not spend too much time in, as far as I am concerned this night walk did not live up to it's billing and it was a pretty expensive tour for the value (or lack of) that we received.. We head for food (home made lasagne which does live up to its billing). We successfully find our way home, it has been another long day.

... the top of the Duomo because the line for the tickets was sooooo long, which honestly didn't hurt my feelings because climbing 463 stairs isn't exactly my idea of a good time. I bet the view is totally worth it though...... Then we went the Museo dell'Opera which is where ...

... cose nel tempo, o piuttosto il fenomeno del passaggio del tempo stesso, il tempo appreso come successione di istanti della presenza, nel suo concetto metafisico di tempo o ontologia tradizionale come successione sul modello dell'intratempora. E' l'immagine ricorrente del flusso, già in Simplicio e nel neoplatonismo, intratempora del tempo e la sua soggettività-spiritualità. Il tempo nasce e si dispiega fra esserci e mondo. Mentre per Aristotele lo spazio è finito in estensione ma continuo e ...
