Buonanoche!
Hey everyone,
Today Ana and I went into town and saw the famous Duomo Santa Maria del Fiore. Surprisingly, we got onto the right bus and managed not to get lost. While exploring the city we also came across the piazza that our school is in! That was really nice because now we kind of have an idea of where it is relative to the Duomo. For lunch we had our first real taste of Italian food at a caffe in the Duomo square. Apparently, food costs more when you sit down to eat, they add about two euro onto each entree when you sit down. That got a little confusing when it came to tipping, but other than that, everything has gone smoothly so far. We also bought some cheap phones with pay as you go plans, so we officially have Italian numbers, not that any of you can use them, but we thought it's pretty exciting. We got back to the hotel at around five and decided to try to find this pizzeria that was around the corner. When we started looking for places to eat, we noticed that nothing seemed to be open...Apparently, restaurants here close from around 4 pm to 7 which was very confusing. But eventually, seven came around and we were able to eat! After dinner I had my first italian gelato experience :) I got a biscotti flavored one and it was delicious. While eating our gelato we walked back to the hotel. Now we are just deciding what to do tomorrow and watching the only show in English on tv.... Jersey Shore, of course!
Ciao!
Sarah
