Here are some pictures from the Shoe Museum that we went to. It is in Florence and it is all shoes. It is kind of small and you aren't allowed to take pictures but we did anyway.

Here is some pictures that I took from the Ponte Vecchio of the other bridges that are across the Arno which is the river that divides the city into two parts. The water is really dirty and gross but we see people canoeing every day. There are huge rats in the river that are probably the size of Jake.

These are pictures taken from the window of my apartment so that you can see the amazing view that we have. Our apartment has four bathrooms and large dining area and living room. It is alot different than we expected, a lot nicer. We probably have the best view in our whole program. The bridge that you see here is the Ponte Vecchio which means Old Bridge in Italian. It is a place where all the nice jewlery is sold. It is the oldest bridge in Florence and was saved from being destroyed in WWII by Hilter's girlfriend who convinced Hitler not to knock it down becasue it was so beautiful.

Here is a picture of some of the girls that live in the apartment. There are eight of us. One is from New York, two are from California, my roomate is from Ohio, one is from Kansas, the other Massachusettes and two are from Nashua, NH. It is good and we all get along. I am traveling with my roomates on spring break
