hotel viallani hallway
this is the hallway in the hotel we stayed at for the first couple nights until we got settled into our flat.
view from the hotel
that big dome is the the top of The Duomo.. the most respected church.. and largest anything.. in florence! it was built in like 1260, which is insane. and da vinci actually made that giant gold ball... [more]
first dinner in florence
first night in florence! our director, nicholas, took us all out for a beautiful dinner at a restaurant on the arno. this is my study abroad group!
walking around florence
we just made it over to one of the giant, most awesome, marcatos in florence.. super cheap and everything is so fresh!! thats my friend kat & greg beside me.
entrance to the hotel
umm.. yep. thats the elevator. haha. seriously u cant fit more than 3 people in any elevator in florence! not to mention u can barely fit in them.
first night out!
study abroad group! this was our first night out! i know i know.. we manage to find the super american, touristy bar (as you can see with the giant dollar hanging in the back). we went on a pub craw... [more]
the arno
this is the river that divides the city. ive come to enjoy just sittin on the edge of the bridge and relaxing. not to mention the giant river rats are pretty impressive. ha.
the streets
this is what most of the streets here look like.. incredibly classic and historic.. florence has seriously done some work to protect its history and its pride.
sidewalk chalk
over by santa croce, these artists come out with some sidewalk chalk and sit there all day making this incredible creations on the ground.. its pretty sick.
terrace view
this is the view from the terrace off my apartment. were actually pretty damn lucky to be this high.. most flats here are lucky to have a view of anything but more buildings!
old school
taking it back to medieval florence and its towers. crazy that these things are still standing.
old florence
this is a map of the setup of florence around Dante's time. the picture of the tower before this is one of the remaining towers u can see on the map.
trippe
yep.. the 4th stomach of a cow, boiled (held up by this guy here) is slapped on a panino with some lettuce and served out of a cart equivalent to a hot dog vendor in manhattan. EW.
sidewalk mini marcato.
a little mini marcato outside of a store. its amazing the amount of dedication to presentation and freshness they put into their food.
