VIP

Saturday my friend Kat from school came to visit. She studied abroad in Florence last spring and had to come back. That night we went all over the place because she new all the great places to go. We went to dinner at a restaurant called Yellow which is pretty much a real version of the olive garden. It is a family restaurant filled with Italians (not very many Americans) which I liked. I ordered pasta carbanara and it was soo good. After dinner we naturally went to Grom and got gelatto, I got mandarin and dark chocolate an excellent combo. I also sampled pink grapefruit, hazelnut and pear. After gelato we went to a bar called Astor and had a drink some strawberry drink that had crushed strawberries, the bar was very cool inside great ambiance. After Astor we went to a pub called Friends it is an Irish pub run by asians in Italy catered to American students which I found funny. After that we went to a club called Twice, when we got inside my friend Kat ran into a club promoter who she knew and we got VIP access and danced the night away, it was great. We could dance and didn't have to worry about the gross Italian men trying to dance with us, there was literally a guy on the platform yelling at guys to get off, we felt very bad ass. Sunday and Monday were very low key it was raining we just walked around and went into a few stores. We tried to go to "the best pizza place in florence" by cab because it was far away but it was closed. Siesta is really annoying so many stores just close at random times during the day. Today, Tuesday I just finished two classes and went to this panni shop called the Oil shope and got a chicken, mozzarella, pesto, lettuce and tomato grilled panni and it was amazing, a hidden gem. I have two more classes today one from 3-5:30 and one from 6-8:30, who knows what I will do after.
