Hello! Meet Kristen, the girl I will be cohabitating with for the next four months.
This is the living room of the apartment.
Kristen and I went to the Duomo Friday night. This is an incredibly American tourist hangout. Almost everyone in our program inexplicably ended up in this area. The Duomo was beautiful, though. When I was here last, it was being cleaned. The colors of the marble are incredible! Last night, we went to a piazza by our house and watched the soccer game on a big screen and a group of aging men play jazz. We did manage to find a crowd that was almost exclusively Italian, but they were also all almost exclusively over 40. I think that we go out too early for the Italian youth.
This is the Basilica San Miniato al Monte. It's Anna's (our host mom) favorite church.
Today, Anna's daughter and son-in-law came over for lunch. They speak a lot of English and they showed us how to connect to the internet in the apartment. They are officially my new favorite people. Later tonight we're going to a festival of paper lanterns. I'm not sure what exactly this entails, but I will most definitely post details and pictures.
