First Encounters


Florentine Streets
For breakfast today, Katie and I had our first slice of real Italian pizza! We had planned on getting to the student center early in order to use the computers there, but unfortunately they weren't opening the room until later that afternoon, so we decided to find a quick bite to eat to give us energy for the day. Around 11 we met for our orientation, and listened to alot of information regarding FSU and Florence, Academic Policies and survival guides. We received our meal tickets (yes literally) and went out to eat again! I had a delicious croissant with a large block of cheese and herbed turkey on it and a drink... once again for $4,50. We returned to the orientation to get our first REAL walk in Florence. Here are the sites we saw (mouse over for names):

Heart of Florence (Main City Center)
The Duomo and the Baptistry
Uffizi and Palazzo Vecchio
Seat of Florentine Government

Hurray! Mah Sawah has landed. According to your clock it is 1:30 in morning there while it is 7:30 here. I miss you everyday and it is weird not having to keep track of my phone for Sarah calls.

I love you and hope that it is everything you have been dreaming about.
