So today we woke up at 9:30 AM and made our way to the school where we will be only having some classes: Syracuse University Florence. The rest of our classes will be held in a studio that is close to the school or out in the city. Our art history class will take place on site at various museums and landmarks! There is no in class room lecture, it is all at different sites! We had a small orientation saying safety tips and other key things to know. All pretty general.
But in the packet there were a few helpful things like a map of different places that I student made after he studied abroad here. So a group of us decided to follow it to a sandwich shop he suggested called The Oil Shoppe. I had a yummy sandwich called Brosco that had prosciutto, mushrooms, cheese, and truffle oil ( mom I know what you are thinking--i am my mothers daughter =) ). It was so good!!
A group of us broke off to try to find the Pucci store. The reason for this is because a kid on the trip, Kyle, his great uncle owned the store in Florence until he died! We found it but it was closed for siesta. I came back to the apartment after sipping on a nice lemon soda.
Dre (One of my roommates) and I decided that we wanted to go running. So we went out and ran around through the streets, and found a gym. We got a tour of it but found out a month membership was 90 euro, which we didnt want to pay for so I think I will just keep running in the streets.
It is such a beautiful sunny day out. The kids on the trip are great so far, and I am having a fun time. Soon we will be meeting in front of the Duomo (which is right down the street from our apartment) to meet our art history instructor and get our syllabus for the class, and later tonight we will be having another group dinner.
I love you all and miss you!!
Love,
Alyssa
