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

To Ireland!

I'm about to go to Dublin - And I am so so so so excited. Unnaturally excited. It's 8:00am and I'm bursting at the seams to get going. I even woke up a few minutes before it was absolutely necessary, just because I was TOO excited to sleep any longer. The flight is at 11:40, so we're leaving in a few minutes to catch the train at London Bridge station to Luton Airport. I think I'm so pumped because I don't know what to expect from Dublin. At this point Italy can't really surprise me anymore, and I pretty much knew what to expect from Paris and London...but Ireland will be totally new to me and I can't wait to land! I'm like a kid going to Disney Land right now. Happy Saint Patty's Day...See you in a few days!
