So after one flight cancellation and miraculously shoving all my clothes into two decently bags (underweight!), I am finally on my way to Florence, well really London. My program goes to London for two days, then Sienna, Italy for two weeks where I will finally learn some Italian, and then I finally arrive in Florence at the end of January.

I cannot wait to see what this semester brings but I know it will involve lots of food, beautiful art, and of course, new Italian shoes ( sorry Mom still can't remember the word). And I guess there will be some learning also :)

Arrivederci for now!
