We went to the pizzaria with the whole group it was called yellow bar. I had spaghetti alla carbonara and it was delicious! I sat with my new roommates and we bonded a little more.
We then walked as a group through the streets, stopping at various historical spots to hear a quick lecture from our teacher, and continuing on to get my first gelato on this trip! I had a wonderful cup of hazelnut and tiramisu.
We heard more stories about the wealthy Medici family who created an above ground hallway in the archways to escape the mafia. And we went to the bridge where a man was playing guitar for an audience of many. We later found out that he was singing in italian about the people walking by and making fun of them. I wished I knew Italian and could be in on the joke.
The bridge holds small shops of gold and silver jewelry shops that are famous in Tuscany.
My roommates and the boys on the trip then split off from the group and explored the streets a little. We strolled just as our Tuscan bypassers, and enjoyed the night like so many did. People are out at night to just be.
My roommates bought some wine to drink all together.
First day was a success, orientation is tomorrow morning at 9:30 and we have a tour guided by our art history professor at 4.
Love,
Alyssa
