I've been slacking with my blog so I have to talk about last weekend first before I start blogging about this weekend. Last weekend my roommates and our neighbors went see the David. It was something I never thought I would be able to see in my life. Sitting there staring at such an important part of history was an awesome feeling. Kell and I made a team effort and snagged a picture of him even though we weren't supposed to take pictures, opps. It was well worth it, now we have a picture of the David to look back on. The museum had amazing sculptures of statues that told stories from the past, it really interested me and in all honesty I didn't think I would enjoy it as much as I did. Being out here has really changed my perspective on a lot of things that life has to offer.
After we saw the David we all went to the chocolate festival. Clearly we ate so much. I bought a chocolate covered banana with nuts on top and chocolate covered strawberries. They had chocolate kebobs, fresh fruit dipped in fondeau chocolate, waffles on a stick, literally anything and everything with chocolate. Everything was amazing.
After the festival Kelly Kira and I walked around town and then walked along the Ponte Vecchio and overlooked the city. The sun was beating on the river and the whole city looked like a painting. It was the most beautiful experience. After our walk we found some little shops and bought a couple of leather bracelets. We had to kill some time before the the best pizza place in the world opened at 7PM. We went to Gusta Pizza, one of the most popular places to eat pizza in Firenze. They make heart shaped pizzas that are too die for. Unfortunately we didn't get ours in a heart shape but it was still phenomenal. I had Calzone Napoli, it was a calzone that looked like a pizza but on the inside it was stuffed with salami and ricotta cheese. Mmmm, so good.
Overall it was a great day with great people, new adventures, and new experiences that I won't ever forget.
