Arrival in Tuscany!

Hi Family and Friends!!!

I am here in Tuscany! After 2 long flights I have arrived and am already getting to know the place.

I took a flight from LAX to NYC and slept a lot of the way, and on the plane the lady that sat next to me was from Honolulu. She was an older lady and liked to talk. I think she thought she was being motherly by telling me to drink my water, but I didnt mind.

I waited in the NYC airport for 5 hours. I got myself some buffalo wings and headed to the sky club lounge where I proceeded to read the book that Hannah gave me called Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. It is a beautiful love story and I am already half way through with it! Girls...it is a must read.

When I got to Pisa my bag arrived out of the baggage claim with a huge rip and my clothes spilling out. It's okay though my clothes were all there and I still managed to carry it to the car. A nice man named Paulo picked me up through a car service and took me to Tuscany. The drive explored beautiful, luscious green valleys and cute old tuscan villas.

When I arrived at Residence Cavour it didnt look like much on the street. But once I entered my apartment I saw a beautiful living room, kitchen, room, and loft. I am living with 5 other girls and we are getting along great! We already made a trip to the supermarket to stock up in cereal for the morning. We also did a little research and found a great gym that is a 15 minute walk, so we decided to walk there but it happened to be closed. The city is very sleepy on Sundays. The walk was nice though so it was worth it.

We will be going out soon for a group dinner/orientation with everyone. We will be going to a pizzaria.

Unfortunately I forgot to bring the cord to be able to upload pictures, but I will try to post on this as frequent as possible.

Spread the address of this blog to anyone that you would think wants to know what I'm up to!

Love,

Alyssa
