Off to Florence!

I'm ready! :)

Looking out of the plane in London; it really is as foggy as they say it is. 

 I made it! My adorable apartment:

Living room/ kitchen. We found placemats with a kitten and puppies on it. It's like they knew I was coming :')

My room! Notice the missing mattress in the top picture. How do you miss that during housing inspections?? 

 After 12 hours on a flight and experiencing the disappearance of my night as different timezones cause my night time to become morning in a minute, you would think jet lag would get to me, but sleep deprivation got nothin on me.

On our first night, my roommate and I went to a cute restaurant called Cibreo and were completely freaked out when we went to the wrong one and the prices were nearly 50 euros per person, but the owners were incredibly friendly and understanding of our confused American ways and led us to their connecting informal restaurant right next door where they treated us like family. We were their last customers and they gave us a tiny slice of an amazing chocolate fudge cake for free. The perfect way to end our first night in Italy. Buona sera!
