Ufizzi, Laundry, and more pics!

Since last post, nothing too exciting has happened.. just going along with the day to day activities of living in Florence. I had my mid-term exam Wednesday morning, wasn't too difficult.

Yesterday after class we went to the Ufizzi Gallery. The gallery holds many, many works of art. Not being an art historian myself, I was unfamiliar with a lot of the pieces, but I did get to see the Birth of Venus, one of the few I recognized. We toured the gallery for about 2 hours, then headed home.

Yesterday was another gorgeous day, a little colder than we have been used to. Sunny though!

I had my first laundry experience abroad yesterday. I was running low on essentials, so I was forced to find a laundromat. It's pretty expensive 7 Euro for a wash and dry. Had to be done! We made a group trip out of it, a few of us went together.

Today was a sunny, beautiful day. Jackie and I spent a while working on logistics of our spring break trip. As of now we are flying from Rome to Athens and spending the week in the Greek Islands. Dont be too jealous!!

After finishing up typing this, I'll try to post the most recent pics.. More to come after the weekend in Venice!

Ciao for now,
Megan
