Day Four


Sunday Jan. 10 2010

Today I slept in until about 4:00 (im still experiencing jet lag). Our water went out again, but we’ve made it a habit of switching the fuse on and off so the pump refills itself. We walked across the bridge today, and the scenes were amazing! Most of the shops are closed on Sunday, so were just glanced inside and walked around taking pictures. I didn’t realize how big Florence really is. The best way to plan your day in Florence is to not do any planning at all. If you just walk around, get a little lost, you will without a doubt find some pretty amazing sights and places you wouldn’t come across unless you planned to walk through it. Nearly every turn and street has something unique about it. The architecture is amazing and the sights are beautiful. I am just starting to notice some Americans just moving into Florence- some 3,000 American students study in Florence every semester, beginning in the end of January running until about the end of May. Towards the months of March and April prices begin to sky rocket, so the best time to shop is now! I really want to buy a nice leather jacket soon, so I think I will look around tomorrow when more shops are open.
