Ciao! So even blogger is in Italian...

It's beautiful here.

I arrived today, after a few long flights and delays (fog, among other reasons) to a country where I have but only seen pictures. After arrival (thankfully both of my bags made it here), we went on a walking tour, where I ate gelato and walked around the area surrounding the hotel we are staying at-- the Grand Hotel Mediterraneo.

We flew Lufthansa from JFK to Munich and then Florence, and the first plane was clean, new, and huge! There was an empty middle seat in between me and this girl, so we were able to have even more room-- which was fortunate.

I haven't taken many pictures yet-- but as soon as I have them, consider them posted.

The coffee is amazing. And i'm trying to speak a little italian here and there.
