Exploring Florence
Monday, May 11
Siena and I woke up early and had breakfast with Maria. We took a bus to a place just outside of Florence where we walked up a hill to a path that led us to a beautiful view of Florence, only this time: As Seen from the Countryside.
Then, we took another bus to an anthropology museum where they had costumes and items from several different cultures from around the world. They even had real shrunken heads! Just like at the other museum, the collection hasn't been touched in decades.
Later, we walked to a sandwich place and order a "#9", which means they get to pick what goes on the sandwich for you. We ate our sandwiches while sitting in the shade on a park bench, watching the pigeons and people walk by.
We strolled the streets and looked in some shops. We even bought some cheap clothing at an outlet store. We got gelato one more time (hurray for coffee and hazelnut flavor!). Siena got Siciliano and Kiwi flavor.
We then got on a bus back to the homestay and watched "Bring it on" dubbed in Italian before we rearranged the suitcase situation and then had dinner. It was a fun dinner with the group of students, and a bit sad because it was my last one with them. They were very nice people!
We went to bed early after putting the finishing touches on the suitcase I was to take home to the States for Siena.
