how i spent my weekend

the title of this post makes me think of those essays/writing assignments you get when you come back to school in the fall in like middle school and elementary school. "how i spent my summer vacation." granted...i don't really think i ever had to write anything like that...i have probably only seen it on movies.

so this weekend i was in Florence on my own. that is to say...all of my roommates were gone (roxy in Athens, anna in Amsterdam, and ada in Hamburg). i am not traveling anymore (and did not go to Greece) because i'm quickly running out of money. i am not telling you this to get any sympathy...its just a fact.

so anywho...things were pretty quiet in the apartment. i enjoyed it. i tried to explore the city a little more than i have before. i walked around a lot and tried to take some pictures so you guys can get the feel of something italian things. for instance...Italian parking


it's sort of hard to see here...but there is no room for those cars to get out. and its like that all the way down the street.we went to the San Ambrogio Market. here's one of the meat counters.

at the fish counter. this was gross...and also unbelievable.

view from Piazza Michelango. yep...i live here.

...okay, homework time.
