It's been a quiet week here in Florence. It has been raining since Sunday. Last night I attended an Appertivo (kind of like Happy Hour but with free food) Language Tandem last night at Casa Creativa off or Piazza Del Duomo. These kind of events bring together local Florentines and expats around the world, and allows them to practice their English and Italian - respectively - in a relaxed enviornment. It was definitely an unique experience -- I not only met some Florentines but also a few Americans, an Iranian and a Brazilian. I've only been studying Italian for three weeks so I was mostly listening but I was encouraged by the fact that I understood about 90%.
I had my final art class today. One again we sketch it the Pitti Palace. It was was relaxing and surreal to just hang out for several hours in such a grandiose setting.
