Since we arrived in Florence; we made it!
By made it, I mean that there have been three successful grocery trips, trash and dishes have yet to be an issue, and there are only two things I might find worthy of complaining. In case you’re curious, those two things are 1) it’s cold and 2) the shower floods the bathroom every single time. C’est la vie. We have adjusted to calling this lovely apartment our home.
And now, without further ado, le weekend.
This is Reba, leaning as one with the tower.
The flick side
They’re keeping it slanted in order to attracted us, peculiar beings.
Exhibit A
Yes, their baptistry is slanted as well. All this sinking nonsense is due to Pisa once being a sea town.
Ah, the Roman symbols.
I’m annoyed because this could have been a perfect shot..
The art scene was very big on recycling materials so when the Duomo di Pisa was rebuilt, the old materials were moved around like the Latin inscription pictured above.
The baptistry has the most wonderful acoustics and took so long to construct that it is comprised of gothic and medieval detail.
This beautiful tub is where the magic happens (they practice infant baptism).
The baptistry has an interesting staircase. It felt longer because the steps were taller.
The Duomo di Pisa is ornate but also having a face lift. Notice that canvas on the right? Yea, I too feel cheated.
In my opinion, Lucca was much more enjoyable than Pisa.
Because I had the best chocolate filled croissant of my life.. and the heater was on.. and there was wifi(which i did not benefit from because i didn’t bring that kind of tech with me. Please be proud).

After the ride home, we got off at the Florence train station and walked towards ..well.. home. To do this, we have to walk through the city center. This is where all the shops are located, Duomo and Co, as well as some renown restaurants. Mi favorito, United Colors of Benetton, was having a beautiful sale where the great Reba snagged a bunch of dresses and I got the smartest blazer. I dislike the word blazer. It sounds tacky. Too bad it makes me look like a total swagtastic thuggggggggggggggggg. Hi mama. That one was for you :*
On Sunday, I was ecstatic to go to Boboli. This is a garden that I’ve had to sketch over and over again in studio lab, to the point where I felt like I went mad. What’s brilliant is I dragged Jamie and Reba out of the apartment a tad early so that we might be able to avoid lines, tourists, etcetera. Fortunately, we got there precisely when the gates opened, at 8:15, and were not only the first ones in but also the only people for a good portion of time. It was blissful and we had free reign. We ran around the features, completely astounded by the solitude and quality of preservation( especially in the porcelain museum, wow. just. wow).
If Caits were with us, she’d probably be prancing around yelling out “all by myself”. Miss you dude.

The building is obviously slanted so, naturally, I find this upsetting. Not everyone appreciates a tilt, Pisa. #comeatmebro
Please, slant… don’t. Be straight. Do right.
That’s right y’all; I dragged them to a porcelain museum.

Tres booji
On some of the sets, different scenes were painted on each cup so as to tell as story.
This kind of slant works for me. No. No, it doesn’t.
She was intrigued by the porcelain turtles. I guess that’s a start?
We might drive each other crazy.

Firenze, or, home.
It’s sharper weather here. That is to say that it isn’t colder temperature wise but it does bite. Just thought you all should know. I also really miss singing with my #fam. I don’t miss very much but I do miss that. Reba thought it wise to look at photos of burgers.
