Polimoda

 Most of the formal italian studying I did while in Italia was at Polimoda, a fashion school in Firenze.  On the way to school there was a bridal shop, coincidence? I think not. I found myself stopping to look in the window each day daydreaming  about the day I'll be designing bridal gowns and flower girl dresses.  Only about one city block to the entrance, and then up the hill! Im not lying and I am not exaggerating when I say that it was crucial, like an intense cardiac workout every morning (so much for trying to gain weight in italy). The school was beautiful though and the view is amazing!  The room they gave us was in the basement, I tried not to complain but often found myself saying "Ho fretto, ho fretto!" (Im cold).

Poi siamo andati shopping sul Corso Buenos Aries. Dopo abbiamo mangiato cena abbiamo dormire e poi capita vestito come dessert vicino l' uomo.

 I was only in Milan for one day but i was so excited to be in the fashion capitol of Italy! 

Kaitlyn and I saw as much as we could in only a few hours. Afterwards we went shopping on Corso Buenos Aries. After we ate dinner we took a nap and then got dressed up for dessert near l'duomo.

l' duomo di Milano era il mio preferito Chiesa in Italia. Essa è stata Foggy a notte e grande per foto perché la piazza era vuoto. 

l'duomo in Milan was my favorite church in Italy. It was foggy at night and great for pictures because the square was empty.

Supermercato di scarpe? Suona bene per me! Ho acquistato due coppie di scarpe in un mercato delle pulci siamo passati in modo Basilica di Sant' Ambrogio 

Supermarket  of shoes? sounds good to me! I bought 2 pairs of heels at a flea market we passed on the way to basilica Sant'Ambrogio

Il metro era così pulito! Non come la metropolitana a New York City

Kaitlyn fed the pigeons and I watched because I hate water rats, whether they are in New York City or Italia

Galleria dell'Accademia

Chi va a Firenze senza vedere David di Michelangelo?  Ho era entusiasta! La scultura racconta la storia del re Davide e la sua battaglia con Golia. La testa e le mani erano grandi in confronto al suo corpo. I suoi capelli è breve e ricci.

Who goes to Florence without seeing Michelangelo's David? It was a must on my "to see list" so i was excited to see it. The sculpture tells the story of King David and his battle with Goliath.  His head and hands were big in comparison to his body. His hair is short and curly. He is made out of marble and is(... i just had to throw in some characteristics in italian)
