Salve!
This is Skinny Brown Girl Checking in! (Gerrae's Sis) :)
I've made it to Italy! I truly would love to write a long post however trekking accross Florence and walking up the 463 steps within the Duomo... Either way, to save time and hold on to the little energy I still have I will list the top 5 most notworthy things that Gerrae and I did/viewed today...(in no particular order!)
1. As I said before, today we visited one of the most important sites Florence offers to its tourists and natives alike... The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore, which is the cathedral church "Duomo" of Florence. The basilica is notable for its dome designed by Filippo Brunelleschi.
Today we waited for a good hour to get the chance to walk up all 463 steps to the top of the dome, to view the UNBELIEVABLE paintings on the ceiling as well as the AMAZING view of all Florence which we viewed at upon reaching the top. Pictures to come, when Im not so ready to say Buonanotte (hhehe). p.s. I know I typed those adjectives in all caps, but seriously...everything was really that 'cap-worthy' :)
2. I'm actually picking up on the language pretty well! My only mix up thus far has been asking for my check at a restaurant and saying, "il contE, per favore" instead of, "il contO, per favore" ...I dont know what I actually said, but the waitor looked at me so oddly, I prob. said something crazy like, "chicken please."
ok...i wanted to write 5 but im so tired im only writing 2 for now...I know, geez, sorry...im in ITALY!!! what do you want me to do? lol..... GRAZIE! BUONANOTTE!.... Thank you! Goodnight!!!
