Florence in the Fall: October 2008

http://florenceinthefall.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Florence in the Fall. Wednesday, October 29, 2008. The Thames and Breakfast. I did, however, have a blast. Tonya, Harriet and I got to spend some time on our own – we went out to an Indian restaurant close to Tonya’s house, and then out to a pub afterwards. The pub was pretty nice, “posh” if you want to be British. And, as Tonya described it that night “full of blokes! Friday, October 24, 2008. Thursday, October 23, 2008. I Left My Heart in Assisi. Wednesday, October 22, 2008. Gelateria La Carraia 2.

Florence in the Fall: Finals and the German Christmas Market

http://florenceinthefall.blogspot.com/2008/12/finals-week-and-german-christmas-market.html

Florence in the Fall. Saturday, December 6, 2008. Finals and the German Christmas Market. 8221; for a few minutes, mentally banging my head against a wall. Then I sighed, moved over to my desk, and got down to work. After I’d finished my bratwurst I decided to get dessert too. I deserved a little indulgence for working so hard. Plus I’ve had a huge craving for sweets all December. I don’t know what it is about Christmas time, b. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome to my blog while I'm abroad!

Florence in the Fall: Gelaterie della Firenze

http://florenceinthefall.blogspot.com/2008/12/gelaterie-della-firenze.html

Florence in the Fall. Thursday, December 11, 2008. So, I meant to write about gelaterias as I discovered them. However that hasn’t ended up happening with a few exceptions, so I’ll try to do a quick summary of the best. I’ve come across a few unknown hole-in-the-wall places that I like quite a lot, and I’ve also randomly stumbled into some of the most renowned gelaterias in the city.

Florence in the Fall. Thursday, September 25, 2008. Welcome to My Home. La Mia Stanza: the desk, closet, and window. La Mia Stanza: the daybed (its pretty comfortable).

Florence in the Fall: November 2008

http://florenceinthefall.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

Florence in the Fall. Wednesday, November 5, 2008. I am sitting in my bed here in Florence, Italy, with will.i.am’s “Yes We Can” video. Let me share with you some of the words and websites that have sketched, defined, and declared the shape of this election and experience for me. A NYTimes article on the international view on Obama’s Election. The global aspect has been much in our awareness here in Florence. A NYTimes article from the Day Before. Obama’s Speech on Race. The election wasn’t a distr...

Florence in the Fall: A Day in Morocco

http://florenceinthefall.blogspot.com/2008/12/day-in-morocco.html

Florence in the Fall. Tuesday, December 2, 2008. A Day in Morocco. I woke up to light coming in the cracks of the cloth tent ceiling above me. Cozy and warm under the three heavy wool blankets on the queen sized bed, I felt like I had just slept in a nice hotel, rather than a campsite in the middle of the sand dunes of the Sahara. I slipped out of bed onto the carpeted floor that kept out the fine sand and quickly changed out of my pajamas, hoping to catch the. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Night o...

Florence in the Fall: Arrivederci

http://florenceinthefall.blogspot.com/2008/12/arrivederci.html

Florence in the Fall. Friday, December 12, 2008. Best hot chocolate of my life! Incredibly rich, but not overly so. Thick, but not heavy. It wasn’t grainy and didn’t form a skin at the top. Piping hot, but never scalding. It was honestly the best I’ve ever had, by quite a bit actually. And of course, I discover it the night before I leave Florence! December 12, 2008 at 11:23 PM.

I have the suspicion that Florence has some of the best gelato in all of Italy, so don’t let the opportunity go to waste. The cel...

Florence in the Fall: Night of the Cello: A Rough Prose Poem

http://florenceinthefall.blogspot.com/2008/12/night-of-cello-rough-prose-poem.html

Florence in the Fall. Wednesday, December 10, 2008. Night of the Cello: A Rough Prose Poem. Sitting down, the chatter, red velvet seats, many people talking, a relaxed social scene. Hush, slowly, silence grows, waiting. Bursts of applause, they walk on stage. The cello, the piano, sing out, beginning a night of music. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
