When in Firenze....Week 2

When I first started this blog I definitely intended to try and post a lot more frequently. But as I've found, my time to write has been very limited. I'm about a week and a half behind on blog posts so I'll try and put in as much as I can to get up to speed!

Two weekends ago we went on a weekend trip to Verona and Lake Garda. And while visiting the home of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was interesting, Lake Garda definitely beat out Verona. Texas doesn't exactly have the prettiest lakes...like at all, so when I saw the beautiful water I was happily surprised! After such a crazy week, it was really nice to just layout by the water and relax for a couple of hours.

When in Firenze..Week 1

It's weird to think that my study abroad program is more than half way done. The first week in Florence sped by in a blissful blur. After settling in at our apartment, which thank goodness actually has A/C, we didn't waste anytime before exploring the city. We even got to see a parade in front of the Duomo!
