Florence day 1

Florence Day One, 10/14/18
So today I was in Florence and I met up with a squad of Skiddos (Libby, Jay, Maya, Cali, Kayleigh, and Eddie). It was nice to be with people I know but I did appreciate having some time to myself in the city before meeting up with them. Today in Numbers: crossed Ponte Vecchio 8 times, took 24,877 steps and slept almost 10 hours. Pretty good overall! Traveling with this group is a different feel wedidn’t do nearly as much as I did in Rome but I definitely enjoyed it. I decided to kind of live in every moment of today so I didn’t take a lot of pictures. This morning I got up and had breakfast and wanted to go on a walk before meeting the group. This morning I stumbled upon what I can only describe as a Boy Scout battle of the bands(I am pretty sire that they are in the same organizations but one would play and then the other. Then they ran down the road while playing their instruments.
The reason I crossed the bridge so many times is because I went to the wrong way when trying to meet up with the group so I had to cross it twice then. We did not “do” a lot in terms of museums or shopping but we saw so much of the city. We just kind of walked everywhere. We saw Duomo, Outside of Uffizi, Market Centrale, San Lorenzo outdoor leather market, Leonardo Davinci Museum, and a castle maybe?
Quick note on the Davinci Museum it was so cool they had many of his inventions or recreations of them and we even got to touch them.
After that Kayleigh and I walked back and got something to eat. I got some pizza and she got a smoothie bowl from a vegan shop. We then sat and talked which was really nice because we were locked out of their AirBnB.
I then sat with her , Libby, and Jay before calling it a night and coming back here to shower and write this. Going to bed soon.

I lost the game! and other fun traditions

-
One day last week, or maybe it was the week before, was national wear your camp t-shirt day-of which no one (at school) that I know participated. However there is no need to fret because yours truly-super counselor extraordinaire remembered and wore her staff shirt from last summer. This combined with the Hillel retreat where we sang a lot of the end of session songs and an email encouraging us to apply for summer 2020, reminded me of all the little traditions from camp that I wish took place more in my daily life. For my camp friends reading this I hope it doesn't make you too nostalgic, and for everyone else maybe this a way to bring a little bit of fun to the office or maybe the holidays. The pineapple game When you are out with a group of people the first one to point to the pineapple and say I win. Wins. Yep- that's the whole game. I do highly recommend it for group shopping trips as it brings a sense of adventure to what can be a drab day at the mall. Invisible ...

Less Busy

Yesterday I got up and worked on some papers and then around 11 decided to make up my mind for the day. I had a kind bar and hit the road. I went to the Barbican, Postman's Park, and Postal museum The Barbican is a really unique building because it has plants overall the windows. The Postman's Park is much smaller than many parks that I have been to but that there are some titles that describe heroic events live saving children from a fire. Finally the Postal museum was incredible. I didn't think that I would enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Also at the museum, you can ride the mail rail, which is the old mail cart which would run under the city. Overall I had a great time and I was able to walk most of these so I saw many new parts of the city. Today I leave for Derby today to visit a camp friend. Don't expect any more posts until Sunday Morning. Have a Great Weekend!

Meal Prep and a Movie

This will be brief because I am going to watch a movie with some friends. Today I got up and read in bed for a bit. I then got up and worked out before going foodshopping. I got stuff for the week and also to make Nutella brownies with. They were pretty good, a little gooey but that didn't stop anyone. I then proofread a paper and did more research for AA overall it was a really chill day.
