We discovered our new favorite spot in Florence this morning. Or more so, I did. Either way... we all woke up too late for breakfast so at 12 we decided we wanted pancakes and we were going to get them. There is this American diner past the doumo that caters to the tourists and American students. They serve breakfast all day, and have hamburgers, fries, etc. It was the most delicious meal I have eaten in the past 3 weeks.
On our way home we heard music coming from somewhere, and wandered around until we found this full marching band playing while walking down the street. Because we had nothing else better to do, we followed them. This was a good idea until we realized we had absolutely no idea where we were. We spent at least a half hour wandering in different directions until we ran into Via Cavour. Good thing none of us had plans right after brunch.
The rest of the day was spent in the pensione. It was raining, lightly, outside, and we all had homework so we hung out in the study room off the lobby. I even took a small nap. It was quite the lovely Sunday.
Around 7PM, after we finished the Bachelor Pad, we went in search of dinner. We got ourselves lost this time too. But we came across this cute cafe and had some good gnocchi and pizza. Since we haven't had gelato in two days we went in search of that afterwards. It being Sunday night, a lot of the usual places were closed. We walked up Cavour and stopped at the first place we found open. We knew we were going to pay more since this place was so close to the doumo, but it was raining and we wanted to head home. Of course, we were ripped off. Mental note: don't get gelato anywhere near the doumo.
The rest of the night is being spent in our room. I just applied for a Boeing summer internship and the leadership program in Zambia this summer. Tomorrow starts the first full week of class. Play time is over; the last three weeks have been fun but its time to get down to business.
