Hello all!
I made it! I am officially in my apartment in Florence. The ride here was an interesting one. Sixteen hours in and out of airports, I better get a few good stories out of it. Ok, so to start me and my mother were waiting for my flight to board when I hear them call out the name Javier Colon to board. I recognized it and even said something about how I thought that it was someone famous. Turns out it is Javier Colon winner of the Voice (which i religiously watched). Exciting! I got to talk to him and everything (don't worry I wasn't one of those crazed fans who starts crying or something).
So I make my flight to Atlanta and get on the flight to Paris. Turns out I am sitting next to another study abroad student, Sydney. She wasn't going to my school but it was interesting to talk to her and we navigated the Paris airport together. Had to take a bus a mile down the road to get to the concourse I needed to be at (confusing much) and they didn't even post my gate until the plane began to board. It was the classiest airport I had ever seen though with most of the building being made of glass.
Made it to Florence and after successfully receiving my checked bag (YES!!) I go to exchange money. While there I run into Sophie (!), who is from DU and is also headed to SACI. So we found our way to the main building and I am now sitting in my apartment alone, because none of my room mates have arrived yet :( I am one block away from il duomo and am about to go explore with my camera and embrace my inner tourist :)
Ciao li miei amici <3
