My lovely morning began with an exciting tour of the Archaeological Museum with Intro to Florence.
It was neither lovely, nor exciting. The only cool part was that we got to see the tunnel that was built back in the 1600's for the Princess Maria Maddalena. She was a part of the Medici family and was handicapped. A tunnel was built connecting the palace to the church so that she could attend church without going outside or being seen. This is usually closed to the public, but because we went with the school we were able to go through the tunnel and see her sitting room complete with the original furniture that looks out into the church. It was quite impressive.
As long as I get to see things like that, I guess I'll stay in the class.
The rest of the day was boring, just class and homework. I started getting a runny nose in the afternoon, and by 8PM was absolutely miserable. I would have just gone to bed then but I had a skype date with Andrea and I didn't want to bail on that.
I finally crashed around 11:30PM. I didn't even wake up at midnight when Allie got home from the soccer game. I sure hope this cold medicine works wonders because we leave for the French Riveria tomorrow and there is no way I am going to be sick on vacation.
