Last day in Italia

Last day in Florence and the Trip, 10/15/16
So today was my last day in Italy. I got up and headed out to meet Kayleigh and Libby. We were going to go to the Duomo but the line was quite long so we ditched it to go to a smaller church around 2 blocks away.It was a lot less stressful and more peaceful. We then wandered around slightly more. When we ended up back at the Duomo we parted ways and I met up with Emily. We walked around a little and then went to lunch. We shared a meat and cheese sampling and had some pizza. I then wandered my way towards where Mitchie is living. We walked around a little and I bought her some gelato because all of her cards were “misplaced” in Spain. We then walked a little more and took a selfie and parted ways. I was meant to meet up with the group again but my phone battery was almost dead so I couldn’t navigate to them.
 Instead I watched the sunset from Ponte Vecchio. I then wanted something shiny (I know it sounds silly) so I stopped in a jewelry store and bought myself a necklace. I then made my way to a restaurant and had a nice pasta dish. I was sitting next to these very stereotypical Russian ladies. One of them knew English and asked me about myself and were mildly horrified that I was here alone at age only 18. I then told them I was studying in London and that eased their minds. I am ready to get back to an English speaking country but I will definitely miss Italy-I miss it already and I haven’t even left yet.
On another note today is Daddy’s Birthday! I hope he had an amazing day and I love him very much. (He knows but it is nice to remind him)

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.
