In Firenze

So I am here! It is all new right now. Last night my roomies and I went to eat ouside of Santa Croce, which is right outside our apartment. We werent allowed to order until 8!! We were starving. I helped Zena with her bags to lug them up to the top floor of our building on the third floor. We have already met several neighbors and they seem nice even though they couldnt spek any English. Most people here can speak english. When I try to order things in Italian, which I cant do well of course, they speack back in english. Oh well. Everything is very new and we walked around a lot and of course got gelato!! It is going to be a great semester. the roomies are fun and the apartment is really nice, even though there are a lot of stairs. the culture is so laid back, no wonder they chastise us for being so busy. I have to go because the internet cafe time is running out. So Ciao and buenosera!
