a few moments in florence

The last two weeks were jam packed with final exams, final presentations, final meals, and arrivederci’s to go all around. Now, before I get all emotional or whatever, let me remind you that this was a semester abroad. That is, I was living in a foreign country for an extended period of time, sans what can be defined as familiar and comfortable.

But the gelato is something I got comfortable with quite quickly. That and the views.

S p e c t a c u l a r views and sunsets that spoiled me, daily.

But the views in California aren’t too shabby either.

Sure, I’m ready to go home. I miss my family and the bay area but not too much else. I realized that it is very possible to live abroad and I am looking forward to future opportunities to do so. It was a good experience. It was a learning experience with a minuscule curve. Here are some random moments from two weeks ago. We also went to Verona, Milan, and Lake Garda last week. Those photos came out excellent and I can’t wait to share them with you.

I have a couple thousand more photos but I don’t feel like organizing and uploading them until I get back homehomehome. I’ll be catching up in installments considering that the wifi is weak sauce right now. I can’t even load things on youtube or spotify- it’s that bad.

I left my peipei in Florence and it’s considerably colder in London #madregrets

  1. Florence was the ONLY place that had decent meat (true bistec meat) in Italy from our experience. Can’t believe how time has flown! Look forward to having you back.
