My first few days in the city have been a blast. The country is amazing and the people I'm sharing the experience with only serve to enhance the adventure. The girls definitely outnumber the guys in our group. Roughly a 5 to 1 ratio. It's a curse but somebody's got to do it. It's also intresting because 3 out of the 4 guys belong to fraternities and the fourth is from Australia. In fact, it's a very Greek-life-heavy group. We've been able to bond over ridiculous stories of our past school experiences and there hasn't been a night yet that less than 20 of us have gone out.
Yesterday we took a class trip to see Sienna and visit the city. It was beautiful and we spent the day touring amazing churches and eating gelato. The attached picture is one of many buildings adorned with incredible artwork and history. Today I explored Florence with a couple of the guys just to get a better feel for the town. We traveled to a man made beach and a lookout point to view the city. It was breathtaking.
Also, to cut costs, we've cooked at least once a day. It's very similar to cooking in the fraternity in the sense that we have to use random utensils to try and concoct a meal. It's very dissimilar to the fraternity in the sense that the food generally is fresh and flaverful. It's been nothing but fun and friends so far.
With love,
Rhett
