Things are pretty good here, just getting adjusted to the new schedule and learning the city more each day! I'm starting to understand Italian a lot more too.... and I feel less like a tourist and more like I live here! I may have visitors from home coming in a couple months so I'm really excited about that. Anyway, check out the pictures!!
I took this picture of the original David by Michaelangelo at the Galleria Accademia in about .5 seconds because no cameras were allowed! Very stealth!!! lol :) This photo does not do the statue justice; its actually about 17 feet high (not including the pedastal). The proportion of the body is made to be viewed from many feet below the statue so it looks amazing up close. The detail is fantastic!These are just cool pictures I took of Florence at night....
these are in the Uffizi gallery courtyard,about a block from my apartment
on the ponte vecchio, the bridge is full night and day!
during the day all the jewelry shops are open...
at night there are street performers, and people just hang out.

and last but not least... the river on a clear day!
I have many more to come... that's all for now though!! Ciao! ;)

how's the food?!
ReplyDeletethe food is amazing when you go to a good place... just like in the states there are a lot of little "fast food" type places that have OK italian food...
ReplyDeletebut everything is about food here... that's pretty much all i do.... EAT, go to school, WALK and drink vino... it's great!! i'm gonna be so spoiled when I get back!! lol
i love taking pics at night...although most of the time they don't show up...or at least not how i would like them too...
ReplyDeletei like taking pics during the day as well...but its more intimate at night...
honestly though, i do not like "flash" photography....i think it takes away the intimacy of the moment...hmmm...
but i really like the night pictures you posted...
i'm so glad you have a camera...even though i'm not there w/ you, in some ways i can live and experience italy though you and your pics...
so what you have really cool pictures.
ReplyDeletebtw....you are bold for sneaking and taking a pic of david. you could have gotten arrested. that is one of my moves
wow awesome pics! They have just reminded me how lovely and romantic Florence is... I haven't been there for ages even if I live in Milan which is pretty close to it...but much more chaotic!
ReplyDeletehey wobblinbetty!! thanks! i miss Florence a lot, it's an amazing city. Hope to get back soon! I didn't get a chance to go to Milan while I was there but I heard it's much more metropolitan...
ReplyDeletethanks for checking out my blog ;)
