No words can express...

As I was preparing to leave the states to begin my new journey overseas, I told everyone I would blog about my adventures.  I assured my friends and family that they would be able to experience Firenze through me.  Obviously, I have been failing miserably.  Those that know me, know that I can tell stories for days...it's the writing that I am not so good at. 

I have now spent 6 weeks in Firenze and posted two posts...about the same story.  At least it was a good story.  Now, to be honest, not all my experiences here are "shareable" since my family does follow this blog...and Mom, I swear I have been a good little Christian girl.  And contrary to popular belief...I DO a lot more than just drink, party and eat.  Those pictures are just more fun to look at and hear about. 


The thing that I love most about my experience here, is that I am able to experience EVERYTHING.  Parties, people, culture...you name it.  And most things I am not able to put in words...so, followed are pictures of my great adventures. Enjoy.

I wasn't able to take pictures in the L'Accedemia where Michelangelo's "David" lives, which sucks.  They had an amazing tapestry piece that told the story of Jesus' life that is absolutely breathtaking.  I would have also like to have shown you the  La Galleria del Costume but again, no photos allowed.  The Museo delgi Argenti had intricate ivory relics that anyone in Florence MUST see.
