For Grandpa & Aunt Nan

Ciao Grandpa & Aunt Nan! 
I'm dedicating this blog post to my Grandpa & Aunt Nan! Miss you guys & hope you are doing well! Wish you could be here exploring Florence with me. Feel free to come visit! 

It was a great day today in Florence! The sky was bright blue and the weather was nice. Here is a picture of me infront of the Santa Croce church near my apartment (Sign reads: "Ciao Grandpa & Aunt Nan!). Went shopping and ran errands with my roomies. Stopped to get a little treat at the bakery! It was very delicious!!

I am heading to Milan tomorrow for fashion week! I hope to maybe see some models or something cool. And then on Sunday I'm going to Venice for Carnevale! I can't wait to see all the masks and costumes. I hope to get a mask and wear it around and creep people out. 

This next week is midterms! My hardest midterm by far will be Italian. It is hard to memorize all the different verb forms. Then Spring Break starts on Thursday which is crazy! I am leaving around 6pm for London! I'm taking a train from Florence to Pisa, then a plane from Pisa to London then maybe the metro to the hostel?? I'm hoping I don't get lost! 

I'm staying in London for 6 nights then taking the train to Paris for 4 nights. I'm going with my roommate Chouree. It will be a lot of fun! We have complied a list of things we want to do on our trip. So here it is:
