An another day at class, return to the house to complete the homework and get ready for the afternoons outing. We were taken around some of the town today and I found this great handbag shop. So we went back after the tour and I got me a really nice handbag. Guess what colour it is?
It was back home tonight to finish the homework and then a catch up with friends for a drink. It is not really hard to find somewhere interesting to drink or eat in this place. We went to another part of the city and there are some interesting places. We found this restaurant / bar and were able to have some wine practice our italian and generally have a good night. Interesting note is that they have hawkers come into the places selling roses. They are really persistant. We had 5 in about 30 minutes.
Back home at 11.00 only to hear them starting the digging an god knows what else in the street. I think if this keeps up we will be glad to move out into the country where we wont hopefully hear any of this. Like I said last night there don't seem to be any rules about when they can start or finish.
It is strange but I am sure the days are just flying by. Don't know if the same is happening back home but well it is Tuesday night and tomorrow is Wednesday and you know what comes after that. We have booked the car and will give driving in Tuscany a go (lucky Brett). After which we have a few days booked in Modena because Bologna was so expensive. There must be something on in Bologna. It is ok because it is only half an hour by train to either Palma or Bologna. So should be fun.
Nothing much to report apart from still having the time of our lives if not better and not really looking forward to returning home (except for the obvious reasons).
So only a short entry tonight and again no italian. Shortly we will be off line for a whole 2 week so there will be no updates. You will have 2 weeks of updates once we get back into town.
Love Monique, Brett, Marty, Kiwi and Hooter
Location:Piazza del Duomo,Florence,Italy
Yup the time really does fly but it sounds like you are having amazing days! I'd love to see a pic of your new (red?) handbag. Enjoy being offline but can't wait to hear more about your trip!
