Well they're not Monday for starters, and they mark the progression of the week.
In Florence they have a lot of other perks.
Such as the Cascine Market in the Cascine park that occurs form 7am until 1pm roughly. Previously mentioned you can buy fabric, a pet turtle, and new dish towels all in one location. Or like I did yesterday, buy three pairs of pants without trying them on for €1 each...and find they are all mislabeled and do not fit. (Hey friends/little sister, want some cute pants that my hips can't fit into?) Regardless I had fun exploring and I did take home two cute new shirts, and a pair of leggings all for about €6.
And then I bought a bunch of scarves for friends back home... EVERYONE is getting
scarves! Hooray!
Avoid the heat by going early, and get better prices, as the surplus goes down the prices have a habit of shooting up as well.
I have classes Mon-Thursday so four hours of my day were spent inside learning about fashion and history, which was pretty okay considering my teachers are wonderful. Also, it has been extremely hot in Florence so being inside, in air conditioning, was very welcome.
Post classes some friends and I got dinner at a place that claims to have the "best pizza in florence", but I had a salad since they did not do Gluten-Free pizza or anything bread-like. I then ran home for a shower, changed into a clean outfit and went to join the gang for Tuesday night-Beatles night at a place called Be-Bop.
Which made for a perfect night.
It felt like I was in the Cavern Club in Liverpool in 1960 listening to the fab four strum out their tunes. And I swear I danced and screamed like a 16 year old fangirl too
So, we will be returning next week for €1 beers (well I won't be) delicious mojitos and brilliant musicians, who have had the Beatles stuck in my head the rest of the week!
CIAO!
