I love the markets here. Fresh fruit, veggies, bread, meat, cheese, pastries...everything. I bought so much fresh fruit, bread, cheese and meat. I could definitely get used to this!
We also walked all over the city finding street vendors. We were on the look for famous Florence leather and unique shopping. I ended up buying leather bracelets for my friends and myself. All of the vendors were really nice and I actually enjoyed bargaining with them.
The only thing that I had to get used to today, was the Italian men making kissing sounds and yelling at us girls as we walked by. I'm assuming they have a thing for American women. I also found out that Italian men love to chase women, they are so much more persistent then American men who seem to just take their time. Maybe I will move to Italy! Haha!
We also explored the city more and watched locals paint, draw, perform acts, and perform shows. I forgot to mention that when we were in Rome, a local dressed up as Michael Jackson and danced and sang just like him. I could have sworn it was him! The weather has been awesome here. Absolutely beautiful. I can't imagine leaving here... and I don't want to. I am sad that my days are counting down. We also went to the local winery and refilled our wine bottles with some awesome red wine. My goal this trip is to try a new glass of wine every evening! Carpe diem!
Tomorrow it's a 6:10AM train to Cinque Terre where we will hike 15 miles through the 5 cities. I heard this place will change your life. It's absolutely gorgeous. I can't wait!!! Maybe I could post pictures? I will try and figure that out.
Arrivederci!
