I flew out of LAX at 7pm. The flight: 12 hours. My expectation: torture. The result: nirvana. With the combination of no leg room and my horrible knees, I knew I would regret this whole Europe thing. Instead, I popped some Tylenol PM and slept for 10 hours straight! (Astor pride)
I arrived in Florence to an empty house. My fellow Pepperdine students were out touring the city. Once they got back, they gave me a tour of the villa and we headed out for some drinks and conversation. The next day was filled with orientation and more touring the city. The group headed out for some gelato at night, at a place right next to the famous towering Duomo of Florence.
The next day the whole group took a trip to Piazzale Michelangelo and Fiesole. The Piazzale Michelangelo is a square famous for it's panoramic view of Florence. I'll post some photos of that. We then traveled up higher for a better view of Florence to the small town of Fiesole. My buddies David, Parker, Matt, and I walked around the town taking pictures and enjoying the view. I have thoroughly enjoyed exploring the city and getting to know it as my new home for the next 2 months.

2 questions...#1. Which one of the three K's is it gonna B? (not a trick question-and NO wrong answer) #2. Have you had any of the famous Floretine hot choc? ...do it soon! #3. Not a question but, instead, a suggestion: Have a "Bistecca Fiorentina"...tell me about it...then send me the bill up to venti-cinque dolare (or whatever you cannot finish) 2 months goes fast...HAVE FUN!!!
