Day 21

       We had an early start today with Italian class at 9:00AM! Today consisted of four straight hours of Italian. Fortunately, our teacher took us to the market half way through the class to learn and enjoys the foods. The market was America’s version of a Famers Market, but with fruits and vegetable that were a thousand times prettier and fresher! I wanted to buy and eat everything I saw! Inside “the food court” there were pasta, meat, fish, cheese and pastry shops. I had never seen food look so good before. A majority of our class got some fabulous paninis and I got a small piece of carrot cake on the side. Both were worth every bite! After Italian, we had our leadership class, where we presented our second group projects of the semester. Both classes would have been a lot more manageable if I didn’t have a sinus infection… Oh ya, today I finally did something about my “cold”, which has been bothering me this past week. It was my first experience going to a doctor outside America. He was English speaking, so there really was no difference at all. However, I was surprised how fast the pharmacy gave me my prescription after the doctor prescribed my antibiotics. It was in a matter of seconds and I am not even exaggerating.

          The best part of the day was eating dinner with a group of friends on top of the Michelangelo Piazza that overlooks all of Florence! We all went to grocery store and picked up bread, cheese and wine to dine with as we watched the sunset over Florence. It was little foggy out, so I am sure it could have been prettier, but the atmosphere and the people I was with made it a great night! We all sat their eating, drinking and laughing. It might have been my most enjoyable night yet!
