Italy!

So this is my home base--Italy! Florence, to be exact. A city of wonder and art and blahbiddyblahblah. It was too cool. I took classes through Gonzaga University.
I basically had 5 class Mon-Thursday, and was allowed to miss EIGHT of each! So I could miss 40 classes the whole semester, without grades transferring to BC, getting major credit, and already have long weekends with fridays off. Basically, once Wednesday came around, I was packing my bags for some cheap European flight thanks to Ryanair (like, 20 dollar flights, literally!) to shelp around some exotic country on a minuscule budget. It was unreal. The food was out of this world, the wine cheap and delicious, the amount of art unmatched. I took many excursions around the city and neighboring towns in Italy. Here's some Florence info! Anyway, here are a couple of my pictures of Florence, including the Duomo, the largest dome cathedral in Europe and the Ponte Vecchio, the lone surviving bridge from many wars over the last 500 years:
