my florentine apartment.

i have been in florence for a week!

i have been living i this little hostel close to san marco. i am a five minute walk from S.Lorenzo.
there is a funky- little market less than five minutes in the other direction.
i go to the duomo every day.
i like the views of florence from ponte michelangelo and the top of the duomo.
there is REALLY good homemade gelato in the piazza della signoria.
there's a 1€ shop down the street that sells drinkable vino rossa.
i made a dutch friend and we have been exploring cheap pizza+beer options.
there is a kick-ass specialty foods market place with lots of amazing vendors.. selling every italian treat including trippa (no thanks), truffles, fancy oil, fresh pasta, pig heads, crazy chocolates, sun dried tomatoes, wine wine wine, olives! ...
i mostly go upstairs to the vegetable market to buy kilos of clementines for 1.5 € from a cute, VERY italain old woman.

i kind of feel like i could live here... ?

it is great to walk by cathedrals and sculpture on the way to the grocery store.
