today we slept in after having a late night and busy week this past week. we went to a restaurant right down the street from our apartment on via ricasoli, it's a super cute shop we'd been eyeing. i had the prosciutto and mozzarella calzone, which was very good. after lunch we walked around town and visited some shops and then went to the Uffizi Gallery where the Medici family home is here in Florence. we toured the rooms and climbed the tower. such a fantastic place! it's so cool to be somewhere where the history runs so old and the historical preservation is so important. climbing the tower was a hike, but the views of the city were priceless! i just loved walking through the Uffizi knowing that people lived there hundreds of years ago and imagining what their life must have been like. after touring the Uffizi we went to the Magnum ice cream bar store where you can build your own magnum bar! the place was so cool and the options to customize your ice cream bar were endless! i got a vanilla ice cream bar, dipped in milk chocolate, with pistachio, brownie bits, and coconut toppings, with a white chocolate drizzle. it was so worth it, this was another place we had been eyeing in town! we went back to the apartment before we went out to dinner so that we could freshen up. we decided to go to a pizza place as seen on MTV's Jersey Shore. the pizza was really good! i got a spicy italian salami and mozzarella pizza. we have to get up super early to go on our italian class field trip tomorrow.
ciao! britney
