Ciao!
So we finally figured out how to post pictures plus we have internet at our apartment so we can actually do this blogging business in a practical manner.

We have been learning our way around the city after lots and lots of walking; we hardly have to pull out the map anymore. After walking back and forth to the police station about five times across the Arno River, we now have a pretty good idea of our whereabouts (but still no wallet). We walked around the Uffizi Gallery, the Duomo and Ponte Vecchio...everything is so beautiful, just look at the pictures!! Our apartment is very warm and cozy, but Friday night we forced ourselves out. We walked around until we heard some beautiful music and decided to follow it. It turned out to be a guitarist hooked up to an amp, playing outside the Uffizi Gallery. His music sounded incredible echoing from the massive architecture surrounding us. Only in Italy can you be surrounded by great sculptures and works of art while listening to an awesome young musician...it was such a neat experience! Saturday we spent the day exploring the city more and practised our Italian with some locals (more like our roommate practised while we watched). And then we ate at a restaurant called Boccadama, our best meal yet by far and then topped it off with some delicious gelatto!
