today was our first day of class :) i thought it would be hard to sit in one class for almost 3 hours, but it wasn't that bad! i think kameron likes his class so far as well. it sounds like they will be doing a lot of sight seeing around florence, and learning the historical value of each little sector. he already had homework though! i started working on a project already today...we are going to be doing 4 throughout the course. we started a ring today, but will also be doing a pair of earrings, a wax ring, and a bracelet. it should be fun :)
last weekend, we took a trip to the beach and went grocery shopping...3 times i think :) its hard to find exactly what you want all in one place, so we go into the markets whenever we see one (which is not often). our trip to the beach was not as successful as we had hoped. we took a train to get there, which turned out to be much easier than the tickets/people at the train station implied. also, it turns out trains make me a little nauseous :( after arriving at the cute little town of viareggio, we ended up walking quite a ways across hot sand to get to the public beach. it was about 10 feet wide, and completely packed. there were a few topless sunbathers...awkward...and about 70% of the people were smoking. needless to say, we didn't stay too long.
today after class we layed out on the rooftop terrace and went on a quest to find my beloved tiffany & co :) we ended with a great pizza and ice cream bars, and now we are searching for possible places to stay for our trip to rome this weekend!
love & miss you all!
