The tourist flood gates are slowly opening, which makes traversing in the center somewhat tricky. I’m pretty good at picking up on where various groups are from--might as well make a game out of my inconvenience. The Italians, Americans, and Japanese are easy to spot, but the Germans, Irish, Swiss, Spanish etc. are a little more difficult. Allora.
Nerina and I had a nice week together. We spent an afternoon in the Bardini Gardens, I took her to the dentist (not as traumatic for her as dentist visits were for me), we invented a hybrid of 20 questions and Pictionary, and read Alice in Wonderland together.
When I was not with Nerina I was running errands, reading (finished Lolita!) or strolling through the city with Rachel. We’re actually getting ready to visit a flower festival in Greve in Chianti. Hopefully the buses are running today. Also, Jennifer gets back from the States today. I made her a welcome home sign. I missed that blonde head of hers around here.
Back to class tomorrow.
My professor is taking me to a chitarra (guitar), voce (voice), violino (don't tell me you can't guess what that is), and bouzouki (no idea what this is) concert on Wednesday.
