Around town...
So during the week while I've been in Firenze, I have done a couple of notable things that I thought I should mention. First were a couple of concerts I went to. The first one was Yung Joc who is a rapper in the USA from Atlanta. I was a little sick but he still rocked the mic. The other concert I went to was Pitbull. He was legit as well! His energy and stage presence made the concert more than it was. Besides concerts, I have gone to many of the musems that make Firenze a leader in the art world. First thing to mention is David by Michaelangelo. WOW! He is much taller and bigger than I thought. This sculpture was made to perfection and cannot be missed if in Firenze. I also went to the top of the Duomo. You see all of Firenze from up there in every direction. Truly a site to see. Very calm and humble up there until the tourist come and start talking. Left at that point to the other museum, which is my neighbor; the Uffizi Gallery. You would need three hours or two days to get through all of it. I went for the main attractions which to me are the Birth of Venus, Spring, and the Annunciation. All unique in thier own way. Ease dropping on English speaking tours is always fun to learn new stuff. The Pitti Palace was also a stop one day. It is across the street from my school so not hard to miss, find, or get to. Behind the palace is the Boboli Gardens which has about a mile radius. This was the Medici's "backyard". If you could get through all of it and not get lost, you are Google Maps. Still has amazing views and relaxing spots to just absorb the weather. Cannot wait to go in the spring! Once I get my student pass, I will be entering more for a cheaper rate. This past Sunday I went to my first soccer game. The crowds in Europe are way more intense than in the States. I like it better! For the LOVE of the GAME!! Anyways, we lost so that ruined the day but being there overall was an experience in itself.
