Day 70: Cobblestones

So this morning I woke up (not knowing my phone alarmed hadn't changed ahead an hour)and luckily didnt miss it, but got to go on a bike tour of Florence. Me and kendra went into town (no one else wanted to go cause they were working on papers and things) and met this lady to go on a bike tour with some other Americans (and I think they were all students as well... but not studying here). They all had just gotten here in the last 24 hours hours and were leaving shortly. So we did the 2 hour tour which was a nice recap of all the sites of Florence we've done and seen. after the strenuous ride up the hills and across the cobblestones, we got back adn we went to the upstairs museum in the Orsanmichele and sat some of the org. pieces that were on the outside of the church. After that we did some shopping and ate at a small Italian place downtown that wasn't very good... but pretty cheap... we went across to the church Santo Spirito and had to walk around the Ponte Vecchino waiting for it to open. But it was cool and had really amazing architecture. After that we went across the bridge we stopped in another small church Santa Trinita which was cool before I picked up something for Sara before heading back to the train and to the villa for dinner. then I studied for the Italian final worked on finals and painted a little on the mural.
