I've Learned How to Ride the Rails

The medievel tower located on the top of Castiglion----------->

I took my first train ride yesterday. A group of us (me, Sarah, Charlie, Matt, Kelli, Corey, and our Professor, Bowne) decided that we wanted to see Florence more on our own. In the morning, Bowne took us to some of his favorite places. We went to the food market (I saw a whole skinned rabbit! With teeth!) and we went to San Lorenzo. And what made San Lorenzo so special (besides the fact that the basilica and the old sachristy were both designed by Brunellschi and the new sachristy was designed by Michelangelo) was the fact that there was almost no one there. Usually there's mobs of people, and we made up half of the people. Well worth the 10 Euro.

After lunch we all split off. I people watched alot and sketched. It's really easy to pick out the Americans. They're the loud annoying ones. I'm begining to dislike them!
