Royal Hotel 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.

... was really good and the honey ale and double blonde were good too and certainly better than anything other Italian beer to date.


Tuesday checked out the Uffize Gallery which was excellent. All the "Grotesque" style paintings on the ceilings were really cool.

Had the Florentine specialty - Bistecca Florentina at Osteria de Benci. A T-Bone steak from a particular breed of Florentine cow which is fed and bled a certain way ...

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,

Back to Camping Michaelangelo we go... cant believe we did it. So desperate to have some more nights out!!!! Was worth it though.

Friday night we went to one bar called Moyo but it was pretty quiet. We were devastated and started to head home. We popped into a place called Zoe on the way home that was busier. Found a couple of bar stools outside and sat watching people. Got talking to 2 guys who were ...

So finally, Sara gets to spend some time in Florence! Unfortunately, her and her friends were doing mostly touristy stuff during the day, so I didn't get to see her that much. I would see her after her dinners, but that was about it. But it's ok because we were in Venice together and I will be seeing her in May before I head off to Phil's graduation. But she had a great time going ...

... si è eventuato? Un modello spaziale delle singolarità spazio-temporali o singolarità cosmiche virtuali dell'ipospazio nell'iperspazio temporale. S.Hawking ha disvelato nell'abisso della spazialità relativistica einsteiniana, l'ipospazio soggiacente che non è un "nulla" o un "niente, ma una "superentità" ipospaziale della topologia fluttuante. Nel modello matematico proposto da Hawking, le parti stabili delle singolarità cosmiche s'immaginano instabili, per la nota teoria dell ...

... of tourists. maybe it was the high expectations. no one knows. but i'm not feeling that blown away sensation i was promised. over the past two days, i've walked or bused around most of the town. cool buildings and bridges, lovely language (PURE italian) and course, great food. today i spent the day mostly in line-ups; first to see david in the galleria del academia, followed by raphaello, da vinci and the rest of the ninja turtles ...
