I cant belive that I am going to have been here for a month. I am not sure if time is moving fast or slow..? I have to say, this is the first time in my life that i am not holding a job, an internship and a full school load. it feels strange to have free time. Ive been trying to use it to the best of my ability, buti have yet to visit most of florences museums.
however, this weekend I traveled to sienna and Ravenna to see some amazing mosaics and churches... and also the shrunken head of catherine of siena. which was a let down. I loved the architechture in Siena, and the large round piazza in the center of town.
Ravenna was beautiful but alot more commerical and high end. with delicious sandwiches.
i love sandwiches. speaking of Im starving. last night i had some mexican food, but being kind of tight on money i ate chips and salsa for dinner. Tonight i am feeling Chinese. I am dealing with my slight feelings of home sickness with american chain resurant food cravings.

This morning I got up at 8am argh... to go to a contemporary art festivale in an old fort in the center of the city. It was a new area to explore so that was nice, and hte art as reqlly wonderfull. I spent three hours there this morning. Waking up at6am every morning this weekend kind of put a damper on going out late this weekend and i am still ridiculously tired.

on the other hand i have finally figured out the bus system. which means alot more exploring!
i have some fabulous pictures from this weekend.

and next weekend is London!!! in which i plan to do every touristly thing possible
love, katie
