Day 26

       Today was our last official day of Italian class. Over the past few weeks I have really grown to love my professor. The Italian language itself, is another story… I already have difficulty with languages, so the class was fairly difficult for me. However, my professor was great and always willing to teach/tell us all about Italian culture and relate it to real life occurrences. I am glad I got the experience I did in that class. After class today, we had the afternoon free, so a group of us decided to make the trip to Pisa and snap a few pictures with the leaning tower. It was about an hour-long train ride and a 30-minute walk from the station in Pisa to the actual tower. The city of Pisa was kind of ugly and sketchy. There is definitely a reason people do not stay there too long. When we got there, it was very exciting to finally get to see the leaning tower! I am pretty sure we spent roughly a good hour taking pictures with tower, making sure we got the perfect angles in each picture. We only stayed in Pisa for an hour and half, but I was really glad we made the trip! It was one of those things that you just have to do in your lifetime. I can now officially check the leaning tower of Pisa off my list! Sadly, tonight is our last night having dinner with our homestays. I know that I will really miss these amazing Italian dinners and the company that comes along with it. Hopefully, I will not lose the little Italian I picked up, for the next time I come back! Tomorrow marks our last day in Florence, this trip has been way too short. However, I am walking away with great friends and an experience of a lifetime!
