Finally in Firenze

Arrived safely in Florence Monday afternoon where I checked into my program and took a taxi to my new apartment. I was ecstatic to see Bri (my roommate this semester and good friend from UCSB and Kappa) was already there and had scoped out the best bedroom for us. The first few days here have been a whirlwind of getting settled in the new place, starting school (first day of classes was today), eating way too much gelato, pizza, and foccacia, and going out and exploring Florence's nightlife with new friends. Anyway, here's a virtual tour of the new place!

Our street--Via dei Fossi

Our apartment!

Entryway

4 flights of stairs + No elevator = A little less guilt about all the gelato I've been indulging in

Bedroom... Heyyyy Bri!

I think my bed making skills need a little work

Still isn't the closet Carrie got in SATC, but very happy to find I have adequate shoe room

Kitchen

View from the kitchen window #1--The bridge over the Arno we cross every day to get to school, the Ponte Alla Carraia

View from the kitchen window #2--Not too shabby
