First night out on the town....

Ciao a tutti!

Last night we ALL went out. It was a bit chaotic!! We couldn't decide where to go, what to do, what to drink, etc., etc.! We finally decided to get a glass of vino at a little restaurant by the Duomo... it's hard to escape the tourist traps at this point because we have no knowledge of the city and the best places to go out without other American students.... Had to take a taxi home since it was after midnight and some Italian men were following us and telling us they wanted us..... So taxi it was!

Before we went out, Ali and Julie and I were again faced with the endless task of dinner! Penne with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella, veal or pork (still undecided...) with fresh lemon, eggplant with parmesan and then an AMAZING fruit salad! This was all after Ali and I explored our neighborhood, found the train station (where it is evident how it could not be so safe at night.... un po' sketchy!!), found a cheap yet beautiful shoe store, a perfect supermercato and some sweet little bars and restaurants! Perfetto!

Overall, yesterday was un giorno bellisimo!

In a few minutes, I am going to head to il centro and meet Breana and Alayna and others and go to the Boboli Gardens which are supposed to be incredibile!! Pictures later!!!

Ciao! Baci e abbracci!!
