New Years Eve Italian Style

I was so excited to celebrate New Year's Eve here in Florence. I was sure there were going to be tons of people, that I was going to dance the night away and have fun. Well, that's exactly what I did! I glamed up for the big night and had my two girls, Lucy and Lilly with me. It will definitely be a night for the books. :)

This is me dressed up and ready to go!

Lucy and I at Fish Pub.

I met the owner at the gym and he invited us so we got free drinks. :)

After we headed to Piazza Della Signoria for some Fireworks with some new friends.

 At the stroke of midnight we all had some champagne.

 This is one of the guys we met. Someone had taken a group picture but I'm not sure where it went. Anyway, these guys were from Pennsylvania.

The piazza was filled with hundreds of people. It was insane. All of Florence was like this!! Still, it was a pretty memorable night. I wish I could do it all over again.

UCD Italian Majors Meet Up In Florence!!

So I am extremely lucky to have two of my fellow Ags - more importantly, Italian majors- here in Florence. Krystal and Lilly are here studying abroad with UCD so I contacted them because I was feeling a bit lonely.

 The other night we met up and they took me to this wonderful place called the Yellow Bar where I had yummy Spaghetti al Pomodore e Basilico.
It was delicious. Then they took me to a gelateria with the cutest name, Perché no? (Why Not?). I am so glad we could meet up in Italia especially since they push me to speak Italian. Plus, this experience brings us together. We have studied the Italian culture together and here we are now experiencing it together. Its amazing. I can tell that I am going to enjoy every moment here. :)

Here are some pics of us posing with the replica of Michelangelo's David in the Piazza della Signoria:
