Being Rome was a hectic mess and I had a love hate relationship with in the city, but being in Florence made my eyes sparkle. The people in Florence are so nice and try to help you with speaking italian if you are trying. I was ordering a panini and I was struggling, I started out with Io posso ho une panini and i didn’t know how to finish and the waiter helped me. ever since he was polite and helping i’ve been going to different places ordering things in italian and the people in the stores have been giving me discounts on items just from ordering food in italian. Florence does have a lot and I mean a lot of fake gelato places and tourists fall for it. Especially at chained restaurants never get gelato there 10 times out of 10 it is fake. I mean the fake gelato is better than ice cream in america but it is definitely not better than the verdo gelato. Another funny story i have experienced in Florence is when citizens on the street sell you things and it seems like they can speak a lot of languages, so whatever you throw at them they can speak a little bit. I think from here on out I’m going to sign to them because they will come up to you when you are minding your business enjoying gelato and sell you something. All in all it has been a fun few days in Florence seeing a lot of the most famous statues in the world like David. I thought it was a medium size statue not really big but when I walked in and actually saw it in full scale I coud not beieve my eyes it was huge. A lot of the paintings J thought were miniscule are very huge in size. Pictures really don’t give the paintings justice. Pictures in books seem like crap compared to the real thing.
