La Vita è Bella: A Summer in Italy: Home Sweet Florence

I have been so busy and out of pocket these last few days I have lots to tell you about! Saturday as a group we went on a bike tour to Tonfano and then to Forte dei Marmi. One of the girls in the group had never learned how to ride a bike haha so in order for her to get to come with the group three of us volunteered to ride a family bike with her. It was quite the experience. No matter how fast we pedaled we still were going super slow and got way behind the group but somehow we were not the ones to get lost. During the 2 hour bike ride we lost THREE people but luckily, somehow found them. haha what a mess. Then that night we had a farewell buffet dinner at our hotel. I really loved Tuscany but I was so ready to get to Florence to unpack my suitcase and not have to drag it around all of Italy!

This is me and my friend Joanna eating lunch after our bike tour!

Sunday afternoon we packed up our things and got on a charter bus headed for Florence! The ride was supposed to be close to two hours except our bus driver was crazy and we got there in 45 minutes. Needless to say I was carsick! Then i got dropped off at my apartment which is on Via Della Pergola! My friends Tori and Victoria from school had already gotten there and we dead asleep from their flight when I arrived but I didn't mind- I had lots of unpacking to do. I have a room to my self which means a full closet to my self! What a luxury it is to hang up all of my clothes. I have been so used to living out of a suitcase this past week. I will do a better job of blogging once the internet in my apartment gets set up! Ciao!
