As the title implies, today we moved into our apartments and everyone else showed up!! The apartment is pretty cool, pretty much what you would expect. Two bedrooms, a decent sized kitchen, a bathroom, and in the hallways there are some couches. We are in one of the three apartments that is separate from the rest of the group. However, we have a nice patio and it connects our apartment to the guys apartment, which has been nice since now we've gotten to know the five of them pretty well. We didn't do anything too exciting today, just moved in and got an introduction to some of the funky things about living in an old building. We all ate dinner together at a nice restaurant where we had a 3 course meal plus dessert, and the food was AMAZING!!! Our first course was a small piece of bruschetta (mom ours is better) and some cheese/ quiche type thing which was actually really good, but I'm not sure what was inside of it and I probably don't want to... the next course was a delicious pasta in a marina sauce, and the final course was ham on potatoes. I'm not really sure what we had for dessert but it moved and was white and we haven't decided if we liked it or not, but we did like the chocolate sauce that it was on top of!! This took two and a half hours (and it didn't start until 8) and then we took our walking tour of the city which was fantastic. When we got into the piazza della signoria there was a huge orchestra playing along with opera singers, and the whole city was just absolutely beautiful at night! Some of us stopped for gelato at a legendary gelattaria and it was really good! But for now its 12:30 and we have our orientation tomorrow at 9, so we're going to bed!! good night!
