I Made it

I made it to Italy! It took me more then forever to get here.
I flew to Denver from Tucson and stayed there for about 5 or 6 hours then flew to Frankfurt, Germany which is a 10 hour flight. Then in Frankfurt my plane was an hour late getting in so I missed my flight to Florence and had to wait another 2 hours or so. Then flew directly to Florence from there, but because of the mix ups with the flight my bags went missing. I was in the Florence airport (which is tiny BTW) for about another hour or 2 to fill out a forum letting them know they were missing and where to take them once they were found.

I did eventually get them back though. The big bag I got back 3 days after and the smaller one a day after that. Thank God for clothes!

But the city is pretty amazing! It's made of cranies and knooks. The people are pretty great too, I live across from a cafe where a very nice man tends and owns, he and I try to communicate even though it's difficult. I will soon learn more Italian though, thank goodness.

It is pretty expencive here though, more then I thought, but I'm so happy to be here non the less!

Everyday I pass the Santa Croce (I believe), and I'm just a few minute walk from the Duomo! It's AMAZING!

My apartment has large open rooms, and me and 5 other girls live on the first floor. I share a room with a girl named Daveen, she's small and sweet. The other girls are pretty great too, we're all from amazingly different places and background. Though I am the only one from west of the Mississippi.

Well I've spent enough time in the computer lab time to go get some more things done. Hopefully pictures will follow soon.


Ciao a tutti!
