definitely falling more in love with italy every day-i know i said that already, but this place is wonderful!

after recuperating from our trek through rome, we got to relax some more-tuesday was an italian holiday, so we didn't have class! it rained both sunday and monday, so that was kind of a bummer, but tuesday was a little nicer. after having a day off, it's weird to know that after tomorrow it's the weekend again. oh well, can't complain about that :) 

kameron's class continues to take him around florence, which has been pretty convenient. he finds little shops and supermarkets and remembers where they are, and then we go back later haha :) he always has cool stuff to tell me about the city when we are walking around. i finished my first ring on monday, and finished cutting the silver for my earrings today. it's going by quickly! i can't believe that after this week we are halfway done with our time here. 

our trip to venice has been moved up to friday. it's supposed to rain saturday, so i was lucky enough to be able to move the reservation for our gondola ride. we are just going to do a day trip, we've heard it's a pretty small place and can definitely be done in a day. i'm so excited :)

today after class we walked around for a pretty long time. i found this huuuge diamond ring on the ponte vecchio-it was gorgeous, and more than likely close to being about a million dollars. kameron found some sweet cuff links too...i think they were 2600 euros? haha we can dream right? we picked up some lemon fanta (so good!) and ice cream, and now we are just hanging out for the rest of the night. update soon :)

love love love
