Rduff post that Rduff's mother made him do, but it's ok cause he graciously accepted
Ciao Ciao. Florence is a chill city, and our apartment is chill too. Our apartment is conveniently in the middle of the city, in a very old building. Aside from the weird smell of such an old building, the apartment is cool, and it even has a really old elevator that my brochacho and I use.  The city is much different than Dallas. It takes some getting used to, but I like walking and riding the bus everywhere. I took this picture of the Duomo a few days ago. The Duomo is Florence's most prominent landmark. I liked it because it was humongous, and each part of it had intricate designs, and it was covered in marble. I've had one problem since we started walking the streets...I can't resist buying anything interesting I see. My Christmas money is going away because of this habit. It's so bad that I bought a cheap fake Rolex that stopped working 5 minutes after I bought it. We've been to a lot of museums and other historical monuments. The grafitti in this city is crazy. It's everywhere. Literally. It's on cars, and signs, and walls, and streets, and everywhere. I'm going to do a photography project where I take some pictures of graffiti. School is interesting, to say the least...it's confusing and much different than any American school, so it will take some getting used to...
ciao ciao
