1am: Professors lied. Buses don't run until 1am. Take taxi home (after polishing off gelato no less).
2am: Shower and get terribly anxious for Sartorialist book signing
7am: Wake up for morning class at the Baptistry of the Duomo
8:30am: Professor obtains private admission for class to the Baptistry, discuss Gates of Paradise... I nearly fall asleep in museum
11am: Rachel and I venture into McDo to explore the diverse menu, only to find that 1/2 of the restaurant is a McCafe... and also find the cheapest Coke yet. A delicious 2euro after an exhausting morning.
Noon-1pm: NAP TIME
1pm: Lunch at the Villa
3-4pm: Get ready for Luisa Via Roma event!
4pm: Joke attempt at Italian class. AKA whispered to Mary Kate the whole time about how excited I was and drummed my fingers on my Ciao! book
5:30pm: OFF TO FLORENCE!
6:30-10: The Sartorialist book signing at Luisa Via Roma near the Duomo. Not only was the party fabulous, but the boutique was so beautiful. There was a wide range of designers and pieces, plus a rooftop terrance where the party and signing were held. Anthony and Mary Kate joined me, expecting "a guy in a Florence Barnes and Noble". Hahah. Oops. I think the open bar, flowing champagne, roaming dinner, and lollipops... in addition to the impeccably dressed crowd made this the perfect party to kick off our trip. Cheers and Thank You to Scott and Garance for coming to visit Firenze!
10-11pm: The party high wore off as we shared a pizza and a bottle of wine, then caught the bus home...
Best night. And I have 4 months left to top that? Bring it on.
goodnight. <3
