today we were around the city going to markets here and there which was so much fun! we walked through the chocolate festival! which was obviously delicious and sooo much fun! they had a ton of samples that we kept going back to. they made chocolate in the shape of cell phones, bricks, people, everything, it was soo good, almost too good to eat, but dont worry we ate it. they had chocolate infused with liqueur and that was awesome too! n they had real hot chocolate, it was just melted down n freaking amazing! while we were making dinner we saw this crowd of people dressed in carnivale costumes gathering on the ponte vecchio (shot featured, taken from our dinning room window). so jenn and i ran over and followed them. it was so cool. they were preparing and spreading the word about carnivale festivities that were up coming in Florence. there was like 30 people dressed in head to toe gear. (look on fb for more pictures of it) after spending the whole day around the city we went out for the night for some dancing which was wicked fun!

all the pictures that my roommates have and that are posted on facebook(fb), i will have them when i get home because we are going to exchange them all
