Firenze

So I started off my weekend with an Italian test, which actually went very well and then a race to the Roma Termini. Traveling alone is quite an adventure especially when you still don't understand the language.  Thursday I hopped on a train to Firenze but the ticket said Milano on it so I was already afraid I was getting on the wrong train.  After about 30 minutes of uncertainty being on a train going who knows where a staff member checked my ticket and reassured me that I was heading in the right place and was just the last stop. 

After arriving in Florence I met up with a few friends from tech who I was staying with and they showed me the awesome night life of Florence.  Florences night life is all about the discotechas which are clubs, and needless to say they are a blast there.  After a wild night I woke up everyone up and we had a big group of us go site seeing. We went and saw the David was absolutely incredible and is actually kind of scary.  He looks so real and there is so much detail you can see all of his vains its really creeping.  It kind of funny when you visit a city and you see sites that your friends that have been there for a month haven't even seen yet.

Overall Firenze was amazing, I think I could live there forever.  Most people there speak enough English so you can get by pretty easily and also its not near is crazy as Roma.  I love this craziness of Rome but it would be to much to live there forever, Florence is a great city pretty busy but its mostly a walking around town.  For my family I'll have scott send you all the pictures I took this weekend.
