Today was a full day of orientations where we got the low down on our apartments and classes. We learned a lot of general information about apartment upkeep and going to our classes. In Italy, people air out their apartments a couple times of day so mold doesn't grow. We did this which made our apartment even colder. For the first time in my life I am always cold here.
A representative from the US consulate came and talked to us about saftey and told us if we ever feel home sick we can go to their office to stare at the american flag waving over the Arno river.
We had a welcoming dinner tonight in a really beautiful building with a full course meal and champagne. We shopped a little on the walk home and have realized that fur jackets are a necessity here. All the women wear fabulous fur coats at night. Hint, dad.
The italian men are funny because whenever we walk by them they say "What's Up" in heavy accents, trying to act like americans. We've learned that you can say "bello" in about every sentence which means cool.
Were about to walk to the ponte vecchio and see it at night. We really want to explore a lot of Firenze before classes start.
We also walked by the rich area of florence and i found where i'll buy my summer house when I'm a millionaire.
