1st day of school

Today, I had my italian class and vegetarian Italian cooking! the different schools within the university are scattered throughout Florence which is great. A walk to class involves me passing the Duomo, piazzas, markets, shops, etc. so beautiful!

My language class seems like it should definitely help with my daily conversation. When I went to my vegetarian Italian cooking class I was blown away! We started today with an introduction to Italian breads and vegetables. We made bruschetta, tried Tuscan, Pugliese, and Emilia Romana breads,  sampled some different in-season Italian vegetables and herbs in different oils. SO GOOD. The culinary school is super pretty. The inside waiting area looks like a restaurant, everyone wears all white cloths and chef uniforms (I will have to too while in class, hahah!) and all the stove tops and cooking space are on big marble tables. I left class full. It was fantastic.

Tomorrow I have off. I am going to check out a few more markets, go to Gonzo, the campus-affiliated fine-dining restaurant to see what they have to offer, and sign up for a field trip to go to Viareggio, a Tuscan beach town. I can't believe that this really is my life!!
