Florence y Romaaa

The weekend of February 25th-29th, my friends and I flew to Florence for Wednesday night and Thursday night and then Friday afternoon, we took a train to Rome. Florence was amazing. The city was so quaint and beautiful. I basically knew where I was going after day one. The fact that everyone spoke English there was extremely comforting, along with the amazing food. My two best friends from home were abroad there, so I stayed in their apartment, which was also so beautiful for two days. We went to Anne’s bakery for breakfast and then walked through the leather market where I purchased a leather jacket from a man named Massimo who owned a store called Massimo Leather.

 Later that night we went to a restaurant well known in Florence called Tres Panchos (Three Benches), which was amazing. There are literally three long benches in the restaurant so three big parties can attend, but no one else can fit inside. Everyone was very sweet to us and the manager of the restaurant even gave us free cheesecake! The following morning we took the  train to Rome. It was an hour and ten-minute train ride and it was easy and great. We met up with my friend from school who let all 4 of us stay with her for the weekend.

She took us to the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, the Vatican, and took us to great restaurants for lunch along with incredible Gelatos.  We went to a restaurant called 34, which was amazing as well.
