I'm now in Florence and it's even more beautiful than I imagined. It took a LONG time for me to get here: I left NC at 6AM on Tuesday morning and got to NY around 10:30. My Aunt Rutha was nice enough to pick me up from La Guardia and take me to lunch and then we spent some time relaxing at her house in Queens.
The bridges and NYC!
My Aunt Rutha and our massive lunch from Joe's Diner!After that she got me on my way to JFK airport where my flight for Zurich left at 6PM. I got to meet some of the girls in my program there, and I was able to sit with one of my rooomates on the plane which was great. Her name is Becca and she's from PA. The flight from JFK to Zurich was about 8 hours. The plane was nice! They fed us dinner, there were movies to watch on individual little screens and games. I slept (uncomfortably!) for about 5 hours of the flight, and then we had breakfast right before we got to Zurich. Oh and they gave us this swiss chocolate on the plane that was SO GOOD!! Ha! So we got to Zurich at about 7:30AM here, which is about 1:30 AM in EST and had a layover until 12:50. The Zurich airport really wasn't that big but I was able to catch some internet for a few minutes and email back home. The group of us just rested and had a little snack before getting on the flight to Florence.

You know you're in Scandinavia when all the furniture looks like this....

At this airport, they took us out to the runway by bus and then you board the little planes like this.
