its a great day to be

one night-after going to grom (the BEST gelato place in florence), Laura and i passed by mc donalds. we didnt even have to say anything, but we knew we both wanted it. haha. so, we ate gelato, a cheeseburger, and fries :)

welp, its saturday afternoon and not much is going on around here. its pretty nice. since my last post, we played some more soccer-our team made it to the semi finals on monday. we had our soccer friends over a couple nights in a row now. they are SO nice. yesterday we didnt do too much-but our roommates told us about this amazing pizza place across the river. so last night, ash and i walked and got pizza there. we took the pizza to the bridge on the river and ate it with a beautiful lit up view of the ponte vecchio. if that is not awesome, i dont know what is. it was AWEEESSOMMME pizza. i think it def beat Milan's. as a matter of fact, i think some of us are going again tonight :)

we went out to space club last night. it was super trippy-no but seriously, it looked like space. it was pretty cool. everyone had a good time i think-its so fun dancing to grease and oldies!

woke up today feeling pretty sickly in the throat. i think everyone is getting a cold right about now and passing it to each other. i do need to get better though before this crazy weekend in england that im about to have.

we just got back from a LONGGGG walk to the supermarket. its kinda weird how they do grocery shopping around here. they shop like everyday instead of doing one big weekly shop...so, all the markets (el centro) are very small and pricey. but not too far from our apartment is a HUGE supermarket...kinda like food lion. the prices there are half of the regular markets in town. so we hit that place up today. its so overwhelming though because they have a million kinds of everything. i caved in and bought coke, hamburger meat, and oreos. haha. can you tell im missing some american food?

i think the rest of today will be spent doing some homework and hanging out around here. we discovered we can rent movies to watch on itunes-all of us are missing some tv. so i think tonight a movie is awaiting us :)

better get going!
