Day 3 - Florence-1-30-11-Sunday

Ciao Bella!  Hello Beautiful!  Today was our first day to sleep in and it was wonderful!  I slept in until probably 1 o'clock I know it sounds awful and super late, but in all fairness it was down pouring when I woke up the first time at 8am and I needed it to get used to this time difference.  After I woke up I went into town and had my first slice of Italian pizza and boy was it delicious!  It was super super fresh!  It just had huge tomato slices all over it and a little bit of cheese, but they put it right in the oven for you when you order and it's out in a matter of minutes.  I can't believe how delicious it was and I'm excited to have it again :)  After that I got more minutes on my cell phone because apparently it eats away all my minutes if I text the u.s. which is a major bummer :(  However, I did buy a phone card too because that makes the most sense.  P.S.  Anyone who wants to text or call me it's free for me to receive them, it just costs a lot to call/text back :)  After that I went inside the Duomo because it was open and it was not what I was expecting for a church.  It's pretty much been made into a tourist spot rather than a church which is disappointing.  After the Duomo I had tiramisu gelato and it was freaking awesome.  Wow… I just realized what a fatty I probably sound like raving about the food all the time in the entries, but seriously, it's absolutely amazing, I have yet to try something I don't like… then again I am not really a picky eater thanks to my parents, work, and work friends who make me try things like scallops, mussels, and ahi tuna all of which I never thought I'd ever try.  After the Duomo we walked back to the hotel for awhile then went back to the Duomo for mass at 6pm.  It was really different because it was all in Italian…Italiano!  Luckily, I have been a part of the catholic church for most of my life so I pretty much understood the just of it :)  After the Duomo I went back to the hotel had dinner and tried to get on the internet, but there were too many people on so it was super slow.  I ended up going back to my room hanging with Molly, my roommate where I found out we listen to the same music which is awesome, and I wrote my blog.
