First, as I said this morning, we went to the Boboli gardens. Which are some awesome gardens behind a palace that the. Medici (spelling????) family bought out when their rivals went bankrupt!
Then we did a bit of shopping, which is always fun. Then we went to the Uffitzi (again..spelling..my iPad doesn't have Italian spell check. #foreignstruggs #lizziemcguiremovieproblems) gallery. Which is this awesome museum with just a TON of renaissance art. I cannot CONFIRM or deny, but I MAY or may not have taken some sweet pictures of the "Birth of Venus" painting and some others...by accident of course.
After the museum we did a bit more shopping (albeit I have yet to buy anything other than gelato and post cards). But last nights adventures might've been the best part of the whole day! We went to basically a live screening of the Italy vs. Spain Euro cup game! There were TONS of people. I did a glorious amount of people watching. Unfortunately, Italy did loose; 3:0 (see what I did there? It makes me sound like I know sports!!!) and we walked home alongside the defeated on our way back to the hostel.
Today we're going to a winery, and I'm just absolutely so excited! We crossed paths with the TFT Discover Europe trip (which consists of about 34 kids, 30,girls and 4 guys) and they went yesterday. They absolutely loved it.! So, to express my own excitement, today is a blue dress day! yay!
Until next time,
Julia Rose
