Last day in Florence

Our journey has come to an end. We leave very early in the morning on Friday. We leave at 3:00am for a four hour ride to Milan. Today we had class in the morning and after that we all had lunch at Dr. Morrison's house so that she could use all of her left over ingredients. Tonight we plan on having dinner all together for the last day in Florence.

On Tuesday, we went to the Uffizi, which is a museum of art, which was absolutely beautiful. After the museum, we had class from about 1pm to 3pm and then we all took a cooking class. We were taught how to make gnocchi, which is a type of noodle made of potatoes, eggplant parmesean and crepes with lemon creme in the middle. Everything turned out amazing and we all had so much fun at the cooking lesson. That was my favorite activity that we did in Italy asside from going to all the schools.

Wednesday my roommates and I cooked dinner for all the other girls and Dr. Morrison's nephew and Hjordis who is an employee of the KSU Florence program. During the day we had class from 10am to 1pm and had the rest of the afternoon to finish up our individual investigations and do some last minute souvenir shopping.

I hope all of you enjoyed going on my journey to Florence with me. I hope I covered everything you wished for! I will also be posting a video tour of what my apartment looked like so that future students can have an idea what apartments look like here in Florence. I will be posting more pictures from the trip so make sure you check my blog even after I'm back. It was my pleasure filling you in on my journey as a student from Kent State University to Italy!
