I,m a Plus Girl

Taking reprieve in another internet cafe to escape the stifling heat of Florence once more. I think this Gringo Domingo will be a pretty good one, considering there is a swimming pool at our hostal, we found a place that is showing the movie Eclipse (don,t judge) and there,s the ridiculously exciting Spain vs. Holland game tonight! Viva la Furia Roja!

Florence is beautiful. We,ve walked nearly everywhere since its a pretty compact city, and saw all the mains sights like Ponte Vecchio, the Duomo, random piazzas, cheap panini,s, loads of turists, and reveled in the gorgeous colour of the buildings. Everything is so light looking, painted in creamy colours and light green. That being said, we,re definitely looking forward to hitting up Rome tomorrow and staying there for 3 days, with a day trip to Siena sometime in there!

A slightly ridiculous thing: last night Sari and I were placed in 2 different hostal rooms on the Plus Girls floor. Now, that basically means we were lucky enough to be placed on a floor designed to protect our feminity. Pink hallways, a vanity desk in each room, places to put your makeup, and little kits that consist of makeup remover, nail files and anything else we might need to stay as girly as possible. Annoying to my feminist side, but also very comfortable, clean and air conditioned so I,m totally down with it!

Off to another air conditioned venue of some sort, ciao!
