Spring Break: Part I

It has been a great first weekend of Spring Break. Everyone else on campus is gone, so the campus is empty, which is kind of nice. Friday I spent the day exploring Rome. We went and re-saw a few things, and saw some new things as well. We went to the Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain (I could every day), The Pantheon, and the Vatican. I also found a store that sells memory cards, which I am very happy about! We also went to lunch at a little cafe near the Pantheon, where we had spaghetti, a chicken dish, warm bread, and a glass of wine. It was delicious! Later that night we decided to go to this Chinese/Japanese restaurant in our neighborhood. It was delicious, and I had sushi 2 days in a row, which I can't complain about!
Saturday my friend Alessandra and I took a day trip to Florence. We took the train, and arrived at about 12:30. We saw the Duomo, which is a beautiful church. We also saw Michaelangelo's David, which was cool to see in real life, although it is disproportionate because Michaelangelo designed it to be viewed at another angle. We also ate lunch in Florence and then walked to the river, and then back to the market. Florence is very well known for their leather, so I got a couple of cool things, and considering it is real Italian leather, I got a great price!
Today I will spend my day packing, printing boarding passes, and probably going to hangout downtown. Tomorrow we leave for Nice in the south of France, and then a couple days later we go to Paris! I am very excited!
