I finished with PLP last week! I had a few days of free time in between my oral final exam and my written, so I had some time to actually relax for once! On Wednesday, I hung out with Samantha, who I met on the train from Lucca! She's from Missouri and is studying art and literature, and Italian.
We saw the Fattori show at the Accademia, walked around the San Lorenzo mercato looking for the perfect boots and belts, and we went across the river where I saw my first Florence wildlife--a muskrat chilling on the bank of the Arno! We had to ask an Italian what it was...it looked like a cross between a beaver and a giant rat.
We had our orientatin at the Accademia today. It was extremly disorienting, but I am looking forward to starting class next week! Tomorrow a group of us leave for the Amalfi Coast (at 6:45 am...) We are taking the cheaper regional train, so we'll be in transit for a long long time. I plan to catch up on my sleep! We are going to stay in Atrani for three nights, and then one night on the island of Ischia on Halloween for Sara's birthday! I am very excited...I need to go pack! I will post pcitures upon my return...ciao!

I spotted a beaver-like rat animal as well! We were with Dom painting on the Arno riverbank and two of them jumped out of the water onto an island in the middle and disappeared. I was yelling that there were muskrats but everyone thought they were giant italian baby-eating rats! They were so cute...
