I don't have any pictures of my apartment yet, but there are some posted on my "landlady's" website, www.florenceapartment.org. Our place is the 1st apartment, and although it doesn't look quite as nice as the pictures make it out to be, it is still quite amazing, in a quirky Italian way. The best part of our place, which we have named "Casttelo Nutella" because of the crazy amounts of Nutella we have eaten in the last 4 days, is the kitchen. It can fit all of my roommates (all five of us!) with 2 people cooking comfortably. I think I lucked out again with the roommate situation because so far they all seem very sane. All four of them, Sam, Avery, Gabby, and John are Art Studio majors planning on studying at the famous Academia (the Academia's gallery is where Michelangelo's original David is located) which is amazing because our house is already starting to fill up with their work. I even have a very nice (and somewhat creepy) drawing my roommate Gabby made for me in her life drawing class. Also, and most importantly, they love to cook and eat. We have already made two family style meals and I have a feeling there will be many (hundreds) more in our future.

Sam, John and Avery waiting (patiently) for dinnerand by the way did I mention that I live right across the street from the most beautiful synagoue I have ever seen. And if I ever get lost, it's blue dome allows me to find my way very easily....
and right next door to us is the Carabinieri, the Italian military police. I guess this could be both a good thing...and bad thing, we'll see what happens :)
