Flowers for the room

Today I had a Florentine Villa trip so I headed up the hill to meet the bus to take us to our villa. It was a gross day outside so it was nice that the majority of the trip was inside the villa or on the bus. After the first villa visit we stopped at a second villa which was now a convent. However, we didn't have an appointment at the second villa so we got escorted out by a tiny tiny nun. It was the funniest thing. We had walked into the center of the villa and as we were escorted out they kept closing the doors behind. Afterwards I headed to my apartment for a bit before meeting my Italian class in the piazza in front of my apartment. We had to walk around and describe what we saw so Leora and I wrote what we saw in English, then headed back to my room and looked up certain words online and then went back outside and our teacher said we did a very nice job :). Just dont tell him we cheated. He then took us out to coffee, tea or gelato. Afterwards I went to visit Mommy at the hotel (Jack and Daddy went to Venice for the day). She had gone to Mercato Centrale for me and bought me fruits and vegetables (it's only open in the morning and since I have class from 9-2:15 I can only go on Mondays). She also bought me three potted flower plants for my apartment. We went back to my apartment, dropped the stuff off and then went for a walk around the center. Afterwards we headed back to my place where I made us a pasta salad - gotta love Italy! I then packed an overnight bag so I could sleep at the hotel and I brought movies for us to watch. Daddy and Jack got back shortly after and we all hung out before going to bed.
until next time!
-arrivederci
