Saturday, September 26, 2009. In need of a guide. Where does one find heavy cream in Florence? Where are the gays? Where are the attractive Italian men?

Ciao dall' Italia!: Quick update
http://thipx.blogspot.com/2009/09/quick-update.html
Monday, September 21, 2009. My roommate Stephanee has a three-day trial for wireless internet connected via USB port that can only be used from her computer. I may consider getting one on of my own or sharing- we'll see how it goes. I've been cooking for the past three nights. Pasta, pasta, pasta. We've also been walking EVERYWHERE. along the Arno river, to and fro from the Duomo, etc. We need to find a better, closer supermarket. . September 23, 2009 at 9:17 AM.

Ciao dall' Italia!: Chianti
http://thipx.blogspot.com/2009/10/chianti.html
Sunday, October 11, 2009. Click on the photo for full view; this blog's template likes to cut off my horizontal photos). I wasn't able to fall asleep until about 3:30AM the night(/morning) before our day trip to Chianti and we had to meet at the train station at 7:30AM. You also have to give us time to walk to the train station, which is approximately an half hour walk. Needless to say, it was a bit of a rough morning. . I'm not going to lie- coming back to Florence was a little bit disappointing. Th...

Ciao dall' Italia!: La Capella dei Brancacci e La Basilica di Santa Maria del Santo Spirito
http://thipx.blogspot.com/2009/10/la-capella-dei-brancacci-e-la-basilica.html
Tuesday, October 13, 2009. La Capella dei Brancacci e La Basilica di Santa Maria del Santo Spirito. The Brancacci chapel's pretty and all, but is it bad that I didn't find it particularly extraordinary? I understand now how this may serve as religious propaganda; if every church back in Los Angeles made me feel like this, I wouldn't mind sacrificing my Sunday mornings. Unfortunately, photography is not permitted inside the church. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Ciao dall' Italia!: Fiesole
http://thipx.blogspot.com/2009/09/fiesole.html
Friday, September 25, 2009. Today we went to Fiesole. It was roughly about a half hour bus ride from the Santa Maria Novella train station. Riding the bus wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I didn't get pick-pocketed and I've been in way more crowded buses back in Los Angeles. . We didn't want to leave after being there for only about four hours, so my roommates and I grabbed some dinner and left around 7PM. We were able to get seats on the bus ride back home and as we were going down, the sun w...
