Firenzied

Peter took the drawing class to Firenze for the day. It was a whirlwind of art, architecture, and a little romance. I l-o-v-e Florence. Peter showed us around the city to get us oriented. But I felt well oriented considering the fact I was here oh about two months ago. I did my presentation on the Duomo which I think went swimmingly. We went through the Uffizi with Peter so it was fun to hear his perspective on the art. We also got these awesome art passes that get us into all the great museums in Florence and we get to skip all lines. I was more than happy to see Botticelli's Birth of the Venus and Primavera again. On the Ponte Vecchio we admired all the gold and sparkly jewelry. I ate this glorious concoction of a warm waffle, nutella spread, and a scoop of stracciatella gelato. I was able to impress these English men with my knowledge of the Duomo and the Gates of Paradise haha if only they knew I did a presentation on it earlier. This time around I got to see The David by Michelangelo which was a highlight. Cailey found the location of this great store called Promod which all of us ended up buying something haha. I splurged and bought this very cute fitted blazer and another shirt on sale. I found myself once again running through the streets of Florence to meet up with the group to leave. Another monumental event of the day was Cailey showed me this unnamed store in Siena where I bought my first pair of skinny jeans!! I never thought I would do it but I must say they are cute. Let the shopping begin...now that I have started it won't stop scary!
