I had some gelato later from a place that is becoming a favorite of mine: "Grom".
After that I had a game night with some friends, it was a pretty regular day. :) But still equally fantastic.
Today I woke up at the crack of dawn to go taste test olive oil (gross right?). Exactly what I thought. It is. It looks pretty ridiculous as well. When tasting olive oil, you put a few drops on your tongue and then suck air in through your teeth--we all looked real weird.
During the tasting they served delicious Chianti wine. This was at 10:30 am. That was a little intense. 
Also, I don't know if I said this enough... But the view here is pretty great:
Later I went on a field trip to the fontanella (water fountain--yes we actually took a field trip just to see a water fountain). The water was pretty delicious so it was worth it. I made a few friends along the way...
The dog actually would not stop following me. It was precious. It had an owner or I totally would have taken it back to the US (sorry Mom). Some other dogs started getting close and he stood in front of me and growled at them to get away (seriously this dog was way too cute). I guess I should go ahead and stop talking about animals now because you know I could go on for days about these two cuties. Anyways, I found the flower of Florence or "Firenze" as it's called here.
Almost as beautiful as the city named after it. To finish off the day we had a delicious dinner later at our school's restaurant. We got the VIP seats on the upstairs patio... We all felt pretty special. Wait, I mean we all ARE pretty special.
Just a pic of the rooftop area. (I didn't want to make everyone move for the picture lol.)
Leaving this place is going to crush me, but I just have to make a promise to myself to return pronto.
