mangiare, bere, e l'amore forte: May 2011
http://jessica-wilson.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Mangiare, bere, e l'amore forte. Eat, drink, and love strong. Sunday, May 22, 2011. I’m finally getting to Greece and Easter weekend weeks later. Mom and I are on a train to Rome to catch our flight to Nice, France, and I just haven’t had time to get another blog in with finals, saying good-bye to Florence, and traveling. But Greece was an unforgettable weekend and definitely deserves a blog post. Thursday morning we hopped on a five hour bus to Ancona, Italy with Bus2Alps. Dinner consisted of a deliciou...

mangiare, bere, e l'amore forte: April 2011
http://jessica-wilson.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Mangiare, bere, e l'amore forte. Eat, drink, and love strong. Thursday, April 28, 2011. Mom comes in less than two weeks now. Can you believe it? I had a delicious Bailey’s and Kahlua cocktail the first night at Moyo which had a Latin themed buffet and a raspberry beer at Kitsch. Having visitors gives us an excuse to go out and try new places. But we of course took them to our favorites that we frequent as well. This week we have Casey’s friends Elayna, Taylor, and Amanda visiting. Tuesday, April 12, 2011.

mangiare, bere, e l'amore forte: Elba and Lucca
http://jessica-wilson.blogspot.com/2011/05/elba-and-lucca.html
Mangiare, bere, e l'amore forte. Eat, drink, and love strong. Monday, May 2, 2011. Elba is known for hosting the exiled Napoleon. We wandered around the city for awhile before buying a bottle of wine and planting ourselves on the rocky beach. We played games and enjoyed each other’s company watching the peaceful ocean. We were the only ones around, and I loved the feeling of isolation for once (especially since Florence recently has been bustling with tourists). Lucca was a much nicer day trip!

mangiare, bere, e l'amore forte: Last week :/
http://jessica-wilson.blogspot.com/2011/05/last-week.html
Mangiare, bere, e l'amore forte. Eat, drink, and love strong. Friday, May 6, 2011. One week left in Florence. I can’t believe this semester has past so quickly! I remember when I had only been here a week. I walked around Florence with Courtney today soaking up the hot sunshine and reminiscing about that miserable, cold, rainy walking tour of Florence that we went on the first week when we barely knew each other. It had a weird texture but it was actually pretty good as long as you told yourself that you...

mangiare, bere, e l'amore forte: January 2011
http://jessica-wilson.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Mangiare, bere, e l'amore forte. Eat, drink, and love strong. Monday, January 31, 2011. First day of class and I’m halfway done for the week! I’m also already exhausted. Or maybe I just have yet to become unexhausted. Sunday we spent catching up on rest and a short trip to IKEA. A new pillow was necessary… mine was literally flat as a pancake. We also bought some candles and a drying rack for our dishes. Then, we finally went for our first run in Firenze! It was getting dark and the lit city. I’m l...

mangiare, bere, e l'amore forte: under the tuscan sun
http://jessica-wilson.blogspot.com/2011/04/under-tuscan-sun.html
Mangiare, bere, e l'amore forte. Eat, drink, and love strong. Monday, April 11, 2011. Under the tuscan sun. Half marathon in a foreign country? Despite serious lack of training, sleep, and hydration, Casey and I dragged ourselves out of bed Sunday morning to meet at Santa Croce for the VIVICITTA: La Mezza Maratona di Firenze. At least the start was at 9:30 instead of 7 am like races in America! Monday, after classes, Casey and I headed to the Carraia Bridge to have some gelato then peruse the leather mar...

mangiare, bere, e l'amore forte: London!
http://jessica-wilson.blogspot.com/2011/04/london.html
Mangiare, bere, e l'amore forte. Eat, drink, and love strong. Wednesday, April 6, 2011. I came back from beautiful warm Spain to ugly, rainy Italy. Get it together Florence! It poured Monday while I was walking to class but it cleared up in the afternoon thank goodness and has been nothing but gorgeous and 70 degrees all week. That’s what I’m talking about! I bought a dress from H&M after class and then bought some groceries at the central market to hold me off until I came back from London. While Kathry...

mangiare, bere, e l'amore forte: March 2011
http://jessica-wilson.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Mangiare, bere, e l'amore forte. Eat, drink, and love strong. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. We got up early for breakfast in our hostel the next morning and to start the sightseeing. We walked to the Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower before heading to St. Michel’s fountain for a free walking tour. The walking tour took us to the Notre Dame again. Who knew it was almost torn down until The Hunchback of Notre Dame was written and they decided to restore it instead? What was the French thinking! A train took us ...
