Just the Beginning of Florence

Florence blog

I cannot believe I have been in Florence for over a week now. This is the most amazing place on earth. There is soooo much to see and do. I have been able to experience many adventures here...

To begin my trip I arrived a day early so I could be in Florence on time for my program. The moment I stepped off the plane into the heat of the Florence air I knew this was going to be the best decision I have ever made.

I stayed in a hostel for a night by myself. I had the greatest time! I met several great kids from all over The States and Canada. One of the girl's had been in Florence for a semester so she showed me the ropes, the best pizza place and best gelato places. Also a few Italian words to get me  around. These were all incredibly helpful. We got to watch the sunset while staring over the river and bridges eating gelato. A very successful start to my trip. I was sad to leave the hostel after just one night. I said goodbye to my new friends and set out to begin my study abroad program.

I quickly learned that public transportation in Florence is not necessary and unreliable, if you want to get anywhere, walking Is your best bet. 

This was just the beginning of my trip. I have many more Stories and places I have gone. Keep posted for more!
