best steak of my life!

This weekend we stayed in Florence. Wednesday we went to the villa my roommate Whitneys parents were staying at in wine country. Her mom made us dinner and it was absoloutly beautiful! Thursday Sarah and I went with Kelsey to meet up with her Italian Station she had met the week before, we were her back up! The funny thing about this guy is that he speaks absolutely no english! So there was a lot of smiling between the two of them. We went to Moyo first and told "luca" to call his friends when they finally arrived they were total creepers and sarah and I were trying to ditch them for the rest of the evening. After moyo we went to twice and danced for a bit talked with our favorite security guard Frank at the door and went home. On Friday I went for a lovely run and walked around the San Lorenzo market, I got some nice presents for myself :). After the Market we went to a restaurant called La Giostra. I ordered the Bisteca alla florentina (a traditional florentine recipe) The waiter told me it was for two people, I told him to bring it on, I could handle it. When he brought it to me it was literally a platter of food. It looked like a thanksgiving feast on a plate. Florentine steak is very rare in the middle and delicious. When I took my first bite I was speechless. I almost shed a tear I was so happy. I started giggling about my steak as if I had met a cute boy, my mouth is watering about it right now. I couldn't finish it but I took it home. As soon as i got home i had some more b/c i was thinking about it the entire way home. After dinner we hung out in the house and got ready to go out. We went to this club called Central Park, it was supposedly an outdoor club, but I think because it isn't warm enough yet they didn't have the outside open. It was really crowded, a bit too crowded, but it was cool. Today Sarah, Maggie and I went to Ganzo our schools restaurant and had a delicious brunch. After our brunch we walked to the Boboli Gardens with some sheets and laid out for a few hours, we all got some color. We came home showered and went out to dinner with Angies parents. It is starting to hit me that in 3 weeks I will be going home. I have become so close with a few of my roommates that it is going to be really hard to say goodbye to them. I will be a wreck when I leave! It is hard to explain this experience with anyone else who isn't here with me, which is why I think we have connected so much!
