Fireneze!

So this past weekend a friend and i decided to hop on a train and go to Florence for Sat and Sund(we stayed at her friends apt, so no hostel! woohoo lol). but florence was amazing. its so small that you can walk everywhere easily. when we got off the trian we were greated with this gorgeous church than walked about 2 minutes and say the duomo. The duomo is unreal. it is so beatuful and huge and amazing, it sometimes looked like it was just a picture. the deatil that went into hte building was amazing. after dropping our stuff off at her apt(which is newer than our, but i feel very italian in my tacky covered wallpapered apt) we went to the chocolate festival they had. there was soooo much chocolate, all i thought about was jessica(sister). i got some chocolate goodies and than this chocolate drink which was basically melted chocolate, it was amazing! we walked around florence afterword   than went to the market, where i got the most beautiful leather jacket! i love it, so happy i was able to buy real italian leather in italy! i got some suvinears for people, not saying what or for who! but i started covering my bases which was good.

Dinner was good, went to a small itlle place and had some pizza(i think our roman pizza is better, im really getting spoiled here) than went to a pub and just enjoyed a nice glass of wine.

the second day we went to the gogili(?) gardens which were huge and pretty. it was a little overcast and cold but it was still nice to walk around and see florence. since i am coming back on a school trip i figured that we would hit up the museums, aka david and the art museum, so we didnt do those. we met up with someone for lunhc where i had a turkey, mozorella lettuce and TRUFFLE OIL! sandwish, the oil shoppe was close cause it was sunday, but i was very happy with mine. i love truffle oil. but ya i will post pictures soon. cant  really describe the pretty things i saw.

i would love to go back, its  a nice break from the city, although sunday it was packed! but i did notice things were open, liek the grocery store which was nice. but ya that was florence. not going anywehre for 2 weekends, than im goign to venice!

but there will be more roman adventures until then!
