weekend 2

well... on the train ride to ravenna I put my fab hat from firenzie up top on the luggage thing and of course i forgot it!! so since we are poor planners and couldnt find anywhere to stay this weekend, i just had to go back to florence to get another hat.  So a group of us went.  We went to the market while those who didnt see david went there.  We ran into the Shore again, not as exciting as the first time but still really fun.  Caroling G  breezed caroline e right infront of their pizza place.(top picture)  it was great.  We bought a couple bottles of wine, chips, crackers, salami and cheese and headed up to Piatza Micheangelo.  It was beautiful!!!! So great.  after that, we called our awesome cab driver, fab and he took us to the best resturant in Firenz. Had penne with creamy meat sauce.  Never even knew it existed but it is the best thing in the whole world.  (we got it last weekend too... thats why we went back to that place) from there we walked to the train station, grabbed a bottle of wine and headed home to bed because the next day we had to get up at 5:30 AM!!!


Cinque Terre (5 cities) (bottom pic)
we got on the train about 6 got off about 10.  We arrived in the first city, Monterossa had a delish lunch and hiked 2 brutal hours to  Vernazza.  BEAUTIFUL!! I will be putting up pictures donta worry! the hike was really hard but really pretty!!! it was well worth it!! when we got here we were all hot and bothered so 3 of us took our socks and shoes off and jumped into the med sea! it was sooo refreshing. We we swimmin swimmin and i swam up on a rock and sliced open my knee! ooouuuchh!! thennn while I was climbimg out of the water i ran right into a sea erchant and he got right in the top of my foot!!! ughhh.  Always mom, always! haha.  well anyway that hurt but oh well. 
for some reason the next town was closed to we took the fairy to the last one.  we were going to go to the 4th one but we were crunched for time. So we got a beer and hopped on the train. 

When we got back to Bolog. we got some pizza, I got mine with tons of onions! yummm and then i went home and my wonderful nursing major plucked the urchents out of my foot while i read my book.  then I fell fast asleep till noonish. then we went to lunch, got a delish sammy and then of course we had to walk off lunch to the gel place.  So i got my first gel shake! YUM try it world! And now im trying to write my paper on The Decameron any suggestion are much appreciated!!

Peace and love
