Ciao,
Sorry for the inconsistent blog updates, finding time whenever I can to update. Thought I'd make a brief post on what I decided to do for spring break (March 9-13). I actually decided to stay in Florence for spring break. While most of my friends were jetting off to the far reaches of Europe for the week, I decided to stay in Florence and really take the time to see my own city. Believe it or not I had not actually spent a full weekend in Florence since the middle of January and thought spring break would be the perfect time to see Florence on my own time. My friend from Germany was also planning on visiting me in the middle of break as well so that was nice. The beginning of spring break was pretty low key, taking the time to do laundry, update my blog, sight see, FaceTime with family and friends. One day I went to the Uffizi Galleria (home of The Birth of Venus) and that was rather relaxing. That museum is huge, I will admit I did get tired of looking at paintings of Jesus. On Wednesday my friend Yannick came and it was great to show him around the city. Over the course of the week, Florence just exploded with tourists. Tourists EVERYWHERE. In Florence you cannot walk more than 10 feet without someone trying to sell you a selfie stick.... yes that is a very real thing here. It is a stick you can attach to your phone to provide better access to selfie picture taking. It is pretty funny, but pretty obnoxious. I am just waiting for selfie stick obsession to take off in the states haha. But overall my spring break was very relaxing and it was great to just stay in Florence. Hope everyone is doing well at home and sending all my love from Italia! Ciao for now.
