Jet Lagged
Well, here I am in Siena, Italy. After a 7 hour flight, a layover in Frankfurt, another 1.5 hour flight, an accidental landing in Bologna instead of Florence due to fog, a 2 hour bus ride from Bologna to Florence, a taxi ride to the bus terminal, and another 2 hour bus ride to Siena, I am here at last in my lovely apartment on Via del Poggio. It's actually huge in size and off of a winding medieval street, and we have a legit Italian balcony. Roommates are so lovely as well, and I'm looking forward to meeting the others in the group tomorrow during orientation. Our Italian roommate cooked us delicious gnocchi tonight for dinner too! My life will most likely revolve around food for the next four months. We tackled the grocery store today and bought all fresh food to stock the fridge with. Need to get used to some things, like the cashier asking how many bags I think I'll need, or how to use the shower with a handheld shower head in the apartment, but so far, this country is like living in a dream.

This all sounds so fabulous! Except for maybe the handheld shower head :P But that's quaint, so it's okay.
ReplyDeleteI think you should buy a villa and refurbish it with the help of some Polish day laborers. Just saying.
Haha. I'm actually about to go use the handheld shower just now. It also took me a while to realize who you are, katiescarlett.. !! I completely agree with the villa bit, I drove past so many beautiful villas on the bus ride from Florence to Siena. It looks like something out of a fairy tale.
