tuesday we got breakfast from Vecchio Forno on the way to italian class, i got a nutella brioche. it was our last day of learning in italian class! wednesday is presentations and thursday is finals for both of my classes. after italian class we grabbed lunch at SandwiChic, of course. and then went back to the apartment to finish our homework and prepare for our presentations. we left the apartment a little early so that we could get gelato before our afternoon class. we went to leonardos, near our apartment (the best gelato we've found!) were i got blueberry and kiwi banana - so very delicious. we went to wines class where we had food pairing day! we tasted Ceccante Maremma Toscana and a sweet wine, Granello. we paired the wines with a fennel salami, pecorino, and almond biscotti. i definitely did not care for the sweet wine, much too sweet! after class we went to the Duomo ticket office to purchase tickets to tour the church and the bell tower on Friday (the soonest date available, attractions and restaurants fill up fast!). i went back to the apartment to get ready to go to dinner while a couple of my roommates went to the uffizi gallery, we met outside the museum to go to dinner together. while waiting outside uffizi we ran into our professor who is here with our program. we asked him to join us for dinner and he took us to his favorite spot near his apartment. it was a great little local restaurant where we ordered lasagna, bruschetta, salad, and wine. the food was great and the red wine was delicious. after dinner our professor recommended a gelato shop not too far from the restaurant. i got nutella and caffe - their gelato was good, but we definitely prefer leonardo's the most. after gelato we walked back to the apartment to study for our italian presentation for wednesday morning. i can't say my italian is very great...
ciao! britney
