WEDNESDAY- dragged my roomies to a new park to read, it was lovely and the people watching was prime
THURSDAY- finally went to GustaPizza. It was incredible. Plus, food is always a highlight
FRIDAY- No School! Took a run, got free coffee, visited a community garden, did the whole Florence night life thing
SATURDAY- Went to Florence's mini beach, then watched a movie... such a fabulous, bum day
Okay, so we're caught up. Today was Cinque Terre, my roomies and I signed up for the FREE day trip through our university here (Florence University of the Arts). Anyways, we loaded the bus at 7am! Two hours later we were in Cinque Terre. It is an 18 kilometer province and there are various tiny little beach towns along the way. We took the metro to the farthest one (Monterossa), layed out and played there for 2 hours. Hiked a death hike to the second town (Vernazza) which was super colorful and fun. We nomed so hard there. The hike was about an hour and half and about 2/3 of it was climbing stairs, so yea. We also had some time to lay on these huge rocks, there wasn't sand... just massive rocks. We did jump off some into the water which was super fun. Then metro-ed to our third stop to walk around and learn some "history"/ random facts by our professors/ tour guides. Then metro-ed to the last stop, then bused home. Such a wonderful day, full of adventure and relaxing. Now home and ready for bed!!!
