A lazy sunday

Yesterday we woke up late and tried to give the Uffizi a shot.  We didn't book our tickets in advance, but since it was raining we couldn't really do any sightseeing.  The museum was gigantic, and it didn't help that we decided not to do a tour.  I ended up googling from my blackberry the most famous paintings and their locations in the museum.

I actually enjoyed the views of the city from the museum almost more than the artwork itself.  The views were also the only thing we were allowed to take pictures of.

Today is the first day of classes and luckily I only have one communications class at 12 on Monday's.

Since all of the roommates are now here we have been trying to figure out our traveling plans, however Florence is somewhat difficult to leave on a budget since the airport is small.  We have to go talk to our advisors about the train system because it is difficult to understand, and hopefully they can find us good deals.
