This weekend was greaat! Walked everywhere (sounds so american and idiot of me but i seriously love walking everywhere and not driving), ate some great food, and did a lot of people watching! Even if i go to a little sandwich shop by myself,like i did this afternoon, i find myself staying there for at least a half hour just listening to people and watching and enjoying! Also, i am so overwhelmed with how many shops and restaurants there are--how am i supposed to check it all out in just four months! there's so muuuuch!!!

look who i ran into!

Taking out the trash and running by the bank right outside my apartment and i see sydney! so glad i looked like grandma babushka all bundled (it's not that cold)

first real italian meal

[just a side note- my cute roommate tiffany and i went walking today all over aimlessly, and look who we ran into--- it's dave!]

 So, because of our flights, we get hungry at weird times, but luckily 9:30 isn't too late to start dinner in Italy!  We went to this cuuute cuuute very italian restaurant where we laughed and ate and drank and practiced our italian with the waiters and their cousins etc. I told my waiter to choose out of three i picked out, and he picked the ox tail-- yeahit's ox tail!!

Tiffany with our free little bite of dessert they gave us! soooo rich and moist and chocolatyyyy!

honey, i'm HOOOMMEEE!!!

Arriving in Tuscany! Mountains + vineyards+ villages

I only took this because of the plane's shadow...

We took buses to all of our planes, pretty nutty

my DARLING little kitchen!!

looking...to the left...from my kitchen window
-also, my cab driver (my two cab drivers today were like really pretty moms with mom haircuts wearing earrings and heels) dropped me off three blocks away with a semester's worth of luggage.  I had to speak real live italian to a cute little older italian woman (most of which was just a bunch of "molte grazie! molte grazie! mi dispiace...aka thank you so much and i'm sorry. i feel like i'll be using those two the most....), in order to get to my apartment. Everyone is just cute and nice and I love it.

Take a seat!

In the Germany airport, all the bathrooms were labeled "toilet"... So, this is our toilet! 

This is supposed to be the Millie/Molly room, BUT Millie dropped out of the program TWO days ago! I didn't even know it! SO i'm going to put the beds together and I guess it's just my room! 

aaaaaand i'm off!

"lllove" and I on my last night while in Chicago at my brother's girlfriend's house!
