Interesting Things...

Here are a few interesting things that I wanted to note after living here for just over a week:

1. A lot of Italians here take great care in the way they look. I've seen many people walking around on the cobblestones and even riding bikes in suits and high heels.

Tour of Florence

I've finished my first week of classes (no classes on Fridays, finally!) and I will go into more detail about them in another post. I just wanted to talk about my first one on Monday, Current Trends in Italian Cuisine. My professor gave the class a small tour of Florence before coming back and making a delicious and quick pasta dish. She gave us a lot of historical information about places around the city, which I will pass along to you (to the best of my ability):

Italians come here to buy the candy-coated almonds that are traditional to have at weddings.

I took a lot more pictures this weekend and wanted to share them with you!
