(Pictures from 9/18 - 10/5)
So here's another batch of photos for you guys!!! I separated them from the others so you guys separate the different places and excursions.
The first few are from my birthday... out karaoke-ing, dinner at the other apartment, and a trip that weekend to Cesena, Italia (a city on the Adriactic coast) to go see some friends of mine from Florida play a show. The next bunch are from a visit to the Boboli Gardens here in Forence, which are located right behind Pitti Palace on the south side of the river. I went along with my friend Kirin, his mom and his brother who are visiting from NJ! The last set of pictures in here are from our group visit to Chianti this past Friday (10/3). In Chianti we went to 2 different wineries.... Castello di Verazzano and _______________.... tasted a few of their good wines, toured the wineries and learned what goes into making a classic Chianti wine!
hope you enjoy!

Inside of Boboli
Boboli Gardens is this hugeee area full of statues and neat little ponds. Its a lot of open area with some beautiful views and gorgeous greenery.
Obelisk
This is an Egyptian obelisk that was brought over to Italy. I'm not too sure on all the history of it.. but im pretty sure they stole it. haha.
City View
Once into the gardens, you can climb all the way atop this hill where u can overlook the city. That building is Pitti Palace (Palazzo Pitti). Right across the street is where the other rutgers apt i... [more]
