Over Thanksgiving weekend, three of my very dear friends--Amanda, Marie and Allison came to visit me in Italy!! Amanda and Allison are studying in England this year and Marie is studying in Spain. They arrived Thursday night and left eaaaarrrrly Monday morning, so we got a good three days together to eat and explore.
On our first day, after waking up at 1pm we went and got lunch where we proceeded to eat: two pizzas, a calzone and a bowl of gnocchi. Oh, and a bowl of bread.
After feasting, we walked around Florence and I showed them some of the sights.
The following days consisted of: more pizza, going to the top of the Duomo, gelato, dancing, cioccolato calda (pretty much melted chocolate that you drink/eat with a spoon), some MORE pizza, RAIN, making true Italian tiramisu from Ilaria's own recipe that she has memorized, and celebrating Marie's birthday!! Such a great time--I cannot believe that we all were able to get together in ITALY!
