hi again :) so far i've been online/updating this more than i thought. oh well! today kameron and i walked around florence and tried to figure this city out a little. it is very different from home. the streets are really narrow, so the traffic only goes one direction. the drivers are also crazy...it scares me. a ton of people drive scooters, which sucks because they seem to always come out of nowhere. so hopefully we can both manage to stay in one piece :) also, i found my favorite italian food today. bet ya can't guess what it is...not. gelato :) it's soo good. we also experienced a little incident when we bought water out of a vending machine. i opened it and it fizzed...not impressed. apparently sparkling water is a pretty big thing here, but i think it tastes awful. i don't think kameron was a big fan either. it was pretty hot/humid today also...would have been a great day to go to the beach, but we figured it would be a better idea to figure out our city before we do too much traveling. OH and one more thing-they sell nutella here (obviously), but i have yet to see it in the same size containers as back home. the ones that i've seen here are like gallon jugs of it...awesome! haha :) i really miss home! and i haven't gotten a chance to talk with anyone really, so that's sad. 

i'm sure you'll hear from me again soon!

xoxo
