Rainy

Today is the first day that we have not had an incredibly sunny day. It started off cloudy, and now its sprinkling and cold. Luckily, the apartment is not far from any of the classrooms so we're only cold for a little bit. But I thought that I should put up some pictures of what life is like outside of my apartment since all the pictures are of our home for the next 4 months. This is the street where we live, Via della Cupa. The building straight back with the dark shutters is our building, I think. The picture is taken from Via dei Priori. If you take a left you end up on the main corso, Via Vannuci which is listed in the 1000 Places to See Before You Die. Everyone is there at night and during their breaks. The town is very quite except during these times when the entire city decides to pack onto one street. If you take a right you head to the steps where I can pick up wireless and where I usually talk on skype since its the closest wireless point from our apartment. This other picture was taken on the west side of the center of town, I think. I'm not really sure what those buildings are, but I know that the tall one that's sort of in the middle was pointed out to us as something important. I thought as the last picture I should put up my roommates again since we do hang out alot. We frequently take walks around the city to see if we find any small little pizzerias or other fun little restaurants. This is one of the wonderful views of the city. Again, for those who have forgotten, from left to right, its Julie, Jeanette, and Erica. There will probably be no walk today since its so cold, but Jeanette and I are going to go in search of some jeans. Hopefully the place is close; either way I'm going to be putting on a big coat. My battery is running low, and for some reason, an associate partner of the study abroad program is going to be looking at our apartment in about an hour so I have to get back and clean it in a jiffy!
