It was a beautiful 12 degrees in Florence today with no rain, so I got up relatively early and headed out for some fresh air. I had heard a rumour that everything Christmas was supposed to start today including a Christmas market and all of the streets Christmas lights were supposed to be lite up. Well, the rumours were true!I first went to the Christmas market which was really cool.
It was unlike any of the regular markets around Florence. This was definitely Christmas. There were booths from all different countries in Europe. Food booths, toy booths, candy and other random trinket booths. I quite enjoyed looking around and will for sure go back before I leave next Friday. I also stopped at the crepe booth and had myself a "rolled pancake" as my family called them. Basically, its a crepe rolled up and then dipped in sugar. Mmmmm trust me, I grew up on these things, they're good!
After the market I just wandered around taking some pictures and doing a few errands. I made it the FlorenceForFun office to drop off my pictures that I had taken for them in Switzerland and I ended up buying a ticket for this weekends Football (soccer) match so I'm pretty excited about it. I hear they crowds around Florence get pretty crazy so I can't wait. I will wear my purple with pride and cheer them on as best I can. :)I ended up being out until about 6pm and by the time I got home the temperature had drastically dropped to a quite chilling 5 degrees.
