We awoke to blue skies, warm temps….and the pealing of church bells throughout the city. Orientation was a 9 a.m. Lots of good info about living and learning in a foreign culture. Next, a walking tour of the most important historic sites in Florence, accompanied by a commentary from our Florentine guide. In the evening, our welcome dinner on the Piazza de Santa Croce. Food, food, and more food—prosciutto and melons, two kinds of pasta, a beef dish, green salad and tiramisu. Good thing we do a lot of walking in this city!
Tomorrow, the work begins! Classes are taught both by Palazzi and USF professors.
Check out the view from our classroom window.
Ciao from Florence!
