| Best ever place to read, and Song of Myself makes me want to re-read Papertowns |
Saturday morning we made a pretty epic breakfast of
sausage-egg-potato-cheese-wonderful-ness and we watched Shawshank Redemption, since that’s another one of
those movies-with-tons-of-references-to-it that you should watch cause it is
indeed really well made. I very much enjoyed both the food and the film. While we watched the movie Star put my hair
into an impressive braided-do, which reminds me of the girls Leonardo Da Vinci
sketched. There had been a plan to try to rent Segways possibly, but the rain
deterred those plans. It was still a great day though and the break from
walking, standing, and climbing stairs all day was a welcome and needed rest.
Star, Monique, and I went and met up with a couple of other
Grove-City-study-aboarders, then we got our train tickets and we found
fresh-baked-still-warm loafs of bread for our sandwiches. The sun showed back
up, so we got a nice sunset and the chance to enjoy the roof some more. It is a
wonderful place for reading, hanging out, and debating life, the universe, and
everything. I costs about 20 euro less to take a really early train from Pisa
to get to Turin, but that involves taking an even earlier train from Florence
to Turin -- less than ideal, but all part of the adventure of traveling. This
time we didn’t need to even jog to catch our train and we were able to board
with plenty of time at a leisurely pace. It’s mildly odd to arrive at a train
without being sweaty and out of breath. Train sleep is not the best, but it’s
not the worst either and in the morning we arrive in Turin to visit Katie,
Emily, Bekah, and Hannah which will be super fun. Ciao Firenze!
