so i'm done that's it....i'm about to leave italia and start my whirlwind 31 hour trek through 3 countries and 4 airports to get to san diego for comic con!!
Firenze was absolutely beautiful. i loved it here...it's a small city but there is so much in it. I think you could probably stay here like 10 days and still not see everything. I visited a lot of churches and the duomo and saw the david of course. I also saw the ponte vecchio, shopped in san lorenzo market and watched the sunset from up in piazzale michaelangelo. I don't really know what my favorite part of the city has been...it's all pretty amazing. I did stare at the david in awe for a good 20 minutes to a half hour today though. I can't believe he was built out of one piece of stone...it's just overwhelming and awe inspiring thinking about it as you look at him.
It's funny to me to think that people actually live in these cities and just pass by these great, historical, breath taking monuments. I mean imagine you're taking the bus to work and you're just like 'oh yup there's the duomo again' ... it's crazy. I guess Boston has a lot of history to it and everyone takes their town and cities' histories and beauties for granted but America is just so young. These structures and churches in Italy have been here for thousands and thousands of years. It's miraculous how well they've stayed standing through the adversity and traveling they've taken.
Well alright it looks like I'm going to head to the aiport now. A 15 minute walk to the train station first with a backpack as big as my nephew. I think i may need a chiropracter or at the very least a really excellent masseuse when i get back home.
So it's florence-zurich-philly and then finally san diego. I can't wait!!! Comic con is going to be exhausting but pretty much one of the coolest things ever!! And i'm hoping I can persuade Jerry to take me to the apple store when we land (lol i mean i need the iphone to work for the con!).
Talk to you guys in America! Or maybe in Switzerland tonight if I can find internet at the airport :)
love, lauren
