the ways of procrastination

Christmas in Florence! 

multiple trips to the central market

sewing book instead of reading them

reading cookbooks instead of art history books

Dad!!!!! The candy is back! And there is even more this time!  (In other words- rewarding myself with candy for pretending to study. )

Watching the sun set instead of learning about all the artists that painted them. 

Overall- it's going great.  I've got tons of new recipe's, a belly full of candy and gelato.  And great memories :)

Happy Procrastinating!

things ill miss: coffee dates

Chiaroscuro- highly recommend for anyone in Florence. 

Even though I miss 'American coffee'  the one euro cappuccino's and machiatone's will be missed.  Thanks for the steamed milk, hot tea, fresh croissants, good memories, yummy food, cool atmosphere,  and friendly service Chiaroscuro.  You will be missed. 

eye candy

I don't have time to do a full post today (class in an hour).  But I thought I would share some pretty pictures with you.  Allison- these are for you :)

A few bikes locked up- literally a block away from me.

I'm not sure what they call these but they are all over the city.  If I am correct you are supposed to add a
lock with the person you love and it it supposed to "lock your love in"

Open air market in Ravenna

Bikes.  I loved the red/white polka-dots they have on their bell and light.
