Well, we're almost there... one week from today I'm leaving Florence! I'll be happy to be home, but I'll definitely miss it here. The downside to this is that I've been very busy, so I haven't had time to write about what's happened online. I have notes in my notebook though, so I'll type them up at some point! For now, I'll just write a brief review and elaborate later when I have more time.
Paris was amazing... Hannah and I went to the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysees (shopping street), the Christmas Market, and Notre Dame on our first full day there. Our next day we went to the Louvre (which of course took a while), Sacre Coeur basilica, and a bit of in-town shopping. The last day brought us to the Musee d'Orsay and the Oscar Wilde exhibition inside before we left. All said, it was an awesome trip, and I have many more stories that I will (hopefully) post soon, as long as I get time. Otherwise, feel free to just ask me about them.
The past week has been fairly busy as well. We don't have Italian Language class (that ended a week ago yesterday), but we had a final exam for our culture class and are working on a project for our World Literature class. In the latter we went to the Medici Chapel and to the Musee dell'Accademia on Tuesday and to the Bardini Gardens to read Boccaccio yesterday (in honor of our last class and a national holiday today). Everything's winding down! However, that means I should be out doing things, so I'm off!
