5 Things I Heart About Italy

1. Fiesole: is a part of Florence but away from the city center. There are less tourists and more scenic views in Fiesole. My friend Vicky took me up for a light lunch and some gorgeous sights.

2. Bakeries open at 4am: After a night out what is better than freshly baked pastries from a Pasticceria? NOTHING!!  Especially when chocolate is involved.

3. Days at the Park: With Spring in the air and sunny days one of my favorite things to do is go to the park with a nice book and just read. This park I go to has a fountain, lively Florence residents and ducks walking around.

4. Parla Con Me Remix: Julia Lenti released the remix to her hit Parla Con Me this week featuring two talented MCs Ghemon and Mecna. I cannot stop hitting the replay button! If rap is not your thing then I would suggest listening to the original song.
       

5. Chianti Wine: Tuscany is well known for it's wine country and this wine is just one of the finest it has to offer. The best part is the price. You can buy a bottle of this wine for about 3-4 euro which is a reasonable price here. No karaoke night is complete without wine. :)

A Day in Siena

A few weeks ago Laura, Vicky and I planned a trip to Lucca. The morning of the trip we went to the train station to buy our tickets only to find out there was scopera, a strike, going on that day. We then quickly changed our plans and hopped on a train to Siena. This was a lovely unexpected trip. :) Here are the pics:

Me and Vicky <3

Me and Laura at Fonte Gaia, the "Fountain of Joy".

Please let me in, I swear I've been good!

Isn't Siena beautiful?

These are must in Italy...of course I don't have the funds or the lady balls to ride one of these.

I thank the Lord and my parents every single day because I truly feel blessed to be here.

Tried out Chinese food for a change and I'm glad we did because it was delicious!!

Needed a break from the pasta overload.

Being surrounded by all this beauty made me feel beautiful.

My two lovely friends.

Gorgeous Siena

Going Out / Pre-partying in Florence

I do like to go out and have fun here in Italy. My usual spot is the Old Stove in Piazza della Signoria and then to dance I go to a few clubs here in Florence. I don't take my camera out EVER - have you seen my camera? lol So most of these pics are pre-partying pics. The last two are at a bar tho. :)

 This is me and my lovely roomie, Lucy.

 Lucy did my make up again. She should go pro. I bought the earrings in Rome.

 This is my bestie, Vicky.

 We were listening to music and dancing. A few glasses of wine and we really let loose!

 A pic of me :)

 We always have fun together.

Me and Lucy again. Doesn't she look good? Damn mama!! 

Not sure why I made that face but it works.  

 Me and my friend Silja out in Red Garter.

She's from Germany. I have a few German friends here. They all speak German with each other and it makes me want to learn German! Maybe one day...
