You heard me right its SNOWING here in Italy. And man its snowing A LOT! It is the most snowfall that Italy has gotten in the last 25 years apparently. The amount of snow is just the craziest thing right now! But its a wonderful thing seeing the snow again just cause i was missing it a little (not a lot). So this week we had another Tandem, and if you didn't read below Tandem is an event when America students and Italian students come together and talk in different languages. It is extremely fun and meet lots of new people every time you go. So after we hung out with them we all went out for drinks and it was just a great relaxing night!
The next day I went to Florence (again) this time for the purpose of a class trip! We went a day early to explore a little more of Florence. I was very upset the first day we got there because when I booked a hostel somehow the date got changed to another weekend. So the hostel we were in would not let us stay there cause it somehow got booked for another day. The whole thing was a little crazy but I figured out another hostel and I booked it! So after all the craziness we went and walked around. Being in Florence this weekend was probably one of coldest weekend I have ever had. I thought because Florence is in a different part Italy it was going to be warmer. That was very false... I ended up only wearing a t-shirt under my jacket and jeans on and i froze. It hurt to walk around and my face was burnt from wind chill. It was brutal.. But through all of it we still managed to walk around and have a great time. My highlight of the day was that we went to the Uffizi Museum. The Uffizi is amazingly beautiful and I had the best time there! My favorite piece of art we saw was the birth of Venus. It was breath taking to say the least. After our trip through the museum we had a nice dinner and then froze in our hostel with no heat. It was a brutal night but I don't regret going what so ever. =]
The next day was our class field trip day and we all went to meet our teacher and he showed us some great parts of Florence. We went to a beautiful church and one of the best chocolate factories I have ever been in. The chocolate was so good! We then went to lunch which was the whole purpose of the trip and it was incredible. We had food cooked from one of the best chefs in the world! He cooked for Obama in Switzerland so its just incredible! The food was so spicy which is very non italian and it had so many flavors! The meal lasted 4 hours and it was simply fantastic =]
Well that is all for that weekend... Miss and love you all!
