On Saturday I decided to make my way up to Piazzale Michelangiolo. I had been there once before on my Birthday for about 5min but was really looking forward to going back up again. Saturday was a beautiful day. Around 13degrees out. What could be better for December 5th, right? Well, I meant to just go up, take some pictures and then head back down but once I got up there I just couldn't get myself to leave.
I didn't realize how beautiful Florence really was until I sat on a step and overlooked the Arno (the river in Florence), the Duomo and many, many other buildings that I have been seeing on a daily basis. It was so peaceful.I ended up sitting up there for over an hour just thinking about my time here in Florence and Europe in general. After that I headed back into the center to get me another one of those yummy crepes. Mmmm :)
It's got to be so bittersweet to think that this adventure is coming to an end. You should be proud of yourself for taking this opportunity and running with it. (I know I would never be brave enough to do it myself). I'm sure it's everything and nothing like you imagined when you first set out. Thanks for letting me along for the ride via this blog - it's so neat to see your pictures and think 'I've been there' or 'I wish I was there'. And it's been cool to look at my own photos and think 'Bonnie is actually living there!'. Probably won't comment again before you come home, so buon viaggio!
