First of many adventures outside of Brescia!

Yesterday we arrived in Florence! we got settled in our hotel and meet up with the group to explore Pisa. hahahh oh Pisa was an adventure but you already heard about that from Natalie.  So after getting a little lost missing trains and being stuck in a train for a good 20mins we finally made it to Pisa!  It was fantastic!  As soon as we saw the tower it hit me, this was the first adventure outside the city of Brescia which we had become accustomed to finally.  Now we faced an entirely different city which had many different things to offer.  We spent most of Friday in Pisa and traveling, after returning to Florence we all decided to meet up and have a family dinner :)  We went to THE best restaurant so far! It was delicious! After dinner we went out for a drink and meet some really nice Canadians. Both groups were very excited not to have a language barrier!  The pub we went to played some music and we all ended up dancing! It was great! Who would think everyone could dance!  Ironically, the house where the Jersey shore taps was around the corner from where we were.  We got to see Snooki, Mike, and JWOW.  Although I'm not a fan of the shore many of the girls and guys were excited to see them!

Today (Saturday)  after a really fun night we were ready to conquer Florence!  Florence is absolutely beautiful!  There are so many sites to see, the Duomo, the Galleria dell'Accademia, Ponte Veccchio, and so much more.  Today we climbed to the top of the Duomo and saw the MOST beautiful view of the city I have ever seen!  Do unbelievably breath-taking!  We also saw David and alot more beautiful sites but the Duomo was by far the best site EVER!

I am Absolutely in LOVE WITH FLORENCE!!!
