Bouna Serra!

Stopped at a Kodak film store yesterday owned by this little, cute old Italian man. I walked in and he started chatting with me, showing me pictures of his daughter (who went to UCLA!),his son and his Chinese wife, and his grandson. We also talked a little about politics and he showed me a book with pictures from the era of Nazi occupation. The Nazis were actually going to blow up the Ponte Vecchio (the beautiful bridge with the Cellini statute) as well as the Medici corridors (housing hundreds of paintings), bastards! BUT, they ended up not doing so by some divine intervention...

I went to the Accademia on Wendesday and saw Daid, he was absolutely gorgeous. The Uffizi was amazing but we were rushed (had class at 2 and only had a hour and a half in there), so I will visit it again. The Birth of Venus is beautiful.

Gelatti update: have tried another flavor, Baci, will try another very soon.

Future updates: I am going to Sienna tomorrow, where I hope to find some good wine; Cinque Terre on Sunday and next weekend is Rome.

Am exhuasted from all the walking right now, will update soon. Ciao!
