Today has been another beautiful day in firenze (the Italian version of Florence). This morning we woke up for our 9 am class. We made our way to our studio and spent the morning learning drawing techniques. We built a grid for us to use when we draw. We also drew a still life of a watering can, table, bottle, globe, and mirror. These techniques that I'm learning are wonderful and extremely helpful.
After that a few of us girls went in search for another cheap sandwich shop called casa di vino. I had a prosciutto, Brie and ricotta sandwich with white savignon wine.
After that Madison and I venture to the central market. This market was unbelievable. Literally a three story building filled with fresh produce, meat, cheese, wine and dried fruits. The worlds biggest farmers market I would say. =) it was heaven. I got some wonderful dried strawberries and mangos. There is also a huge outdoor market of leather, scarves, and other merchant goods. We also stopped by a store on the way home that I got a big jug of mango juice that is absolutely delicious.
We came back to rest for a bit. I continued reading my book. Then a bunch of us went to the train station to figure out our weekend plans. A bunch of us girls are going to Siena tomorrow for the day. And then almost the whole group is going to Venice on Sunday. I'm excited for all the traveling!
On our way home we stopped by the gelato festival that is going on this weekend. I got 5 gelato passes for 4 euro and used the first for a coffee gelato Popsicle. It was strong but good. =)
Now we are just relaxing again until the next adventure. I hope you are all doing well. I'm doing great. Everyone is getting along well and I'm having an awesome time. But I do miss you all and love you all very much!!
Love,
Alyssa
