Update from Firenze!

I'm in Florence now. Left Edinburgh yesterday morning really early and flew back to London Gatwick, then met up with my group and flew to Florence. Got here in the evening, had some orientation and dinner, wandered around seeking the internet (only to learn that we need our passports and we didn't have them on us...), then went to bed. This morning we had a brief lesson then did nothing all afternoon. It's beautiful here. We're staying in a campsite (more like a mini town) about 30 min out of Florence. It's huge - several restaurants, pools, stores... we're staying in small trailers, 2 to each. And it's really pretty - we have a nice view of the countryside. The weather's not great yet - it's nice, pretty warm, but not very hot. Anyway, I have to make this post short - only have a few minutes left on the computer. Tomorrow's our first day in Florence itself; I'm looking forward to it! It's so nice to be back in Italy again; it's been almost 5 years since I was here last. The people in my group are nice, and I'm getting to know everyone's names slowly.

Okay, got to go now, only 2 min left. Hope you guys are all doing well back in Vancouver! :)
