Ciao!

An author I can't remember of a book I can't remember wrote that "a novel is like a dream in which everyone is you."
Here, I won't be writing a novel (since I'll be channeling my time into exploring this great city) but instead will give quick sketches of Florence in the words I find on my travels. From the Ponte Vecchio to the Duomo, I hope that you, too, will find in these sketches the stories of people and places who are both foreign and familiar to you at once. Because, like that unknown author said, writing lets us live the dream of the worlds we read. ~ Alyssa

Spring Break!

I am preparing to leave for London tomorrow! Midterms have gone really well, and even the Italian exam wasn't that bad today. One last hurrah out tonight with the girls and then we'll all be boarding our separate planes tomorrow for our different spring break destinations. I'll be meeting up with Allie, Larissa and Emily in Dublin mid-week next week for a few days and then going back to London for the end of break. Can't wait to get on the flight tomorrow night and see my first glimpses of England! I'll have internet at Nick's so will be blogging as much as I can...ciao!
