You know one of those days that something happens and you just know its going to be a great day? Today was just one of those days, and it turned out to be a wonderful day. Well actually the morning started out rough since I got an email from my Mom, saying that the bank thought my debit card was taken... even though I told them before I left that I was going to be in Italy for three months, like I was supposed to. Guess that little tid bit of info got lost? Nice one Chase...
But then my fate turned around when I took a shower this morning. I know that sounds strange but the only thing that I can complain about here is the shower. It is either extremely hot or extremely cold and the water pressure is intense. Well on Sunday when I went to take a shower I was in the shower for about a minute and there was already a HUGE puddle outside of the shower and I realized that the shower head was broken. (It was chaos but I won't get into details.) After some translation and a little shopping, we now have a new shower head and the shower is absolutely amazing. Perfect water pressure and perfect temperature = start to the good day!
On Tuesdays I don't have class until 2:30, so I got stayed home and got my homework done...success, and then went to lunch at Trattoria Casalinga with some girls on the program. We wound up sitting with 3 italians after Ally asked him what he was eating and he gave her a fork to try it out. We practiced some of our italian, enjoyed some red wine, and I tried a new dish that they recommended, pasta with boar (surprisingly amazing)!! After my only class of the day, Julia, Taylor, and I went to Gelateria La Carraia, which just reopened today for the season. Let me just say that I have been searching for my favorite gelato place in Florence, and I am finally impressed. The gelato was absolutely amazing and the store is so cute and tidy, I will take a picture sometime soon!
Just a fun little countdown:
Day trip to Assisi: 4 days
London Girls' arrive in Florence: 10 days!
Matt arrives in Florence: 16 days!
Your lunch sounds fun :) and what, boar?! Sounds wild. Miss you bella
