Finding Florence

I just finished my second week of classes and I'm off to Assisi and Perugia this weekend. This past week I found the "oil shoppe", which is a local sandwich shop. Its extremely popular with american students studying in Florence, but not touristy which is great.  After receiving our to go sandwiches we went to one of the public libraries and sat in the sun on the terrace which had a great view of the Duomo. Another day, with a friend and one of my roommates, I went to the rooftop cafe, which overlooks the Plazza della Ropubblica as well as has views of the city including the Duomo. I also went to my the Florence ultimate frisbee team practice last night, which was definitely a new adventure. It was also a realization of how not going to practice or running since December can have a huge impact, I am currently pretty sore and hate walking up the three flights of stairs to our apartment.
