First Class Baby!

The flight was delayed about an hour and a half, but they just put me in first class! (I'm sure its only for the short flight to Munich ;))

Flight Delays!

Yay! :(

Interesting Journey to the Airport

I don't know if your remember, but I brought two big suitcases weighing around 80 pounds each, one backpack weighing about 50 pounds, and one laptop. Since I got ripped off by the can on the way here four months ago, I decided that I would make up for it and take the metro... With all my things! I had to switch three times :) But I made it!

Something also happened along the way that kind of made me mad. Obviously most people would be flustered and disoriented carrying all of that stuff on the metro. So someone thought that they could try and pickpocket me!!! I am always very aware of my pockets on subways and noticed a little nudge from the guy standing next to me. I looked down and saw his hand move away from my leg. I looked him in the eye to let him know that I was aware and kept my eyes down, looking at my pocket. I saw and felt his finger slip into my pocket so I moved out of the way looked him in the eyes again and shook my head no. I put my hand in my pocket which made him look sad that I had caught him and then he got off the train... I can't believe people sometimes!

Anyways, I am in line at the airport and I have about two hours until my flight. I am a bit nervous because the lines are huge... I hope I make my flight!

Last Night

I guess it snowed last night in Madrid, but I'm not writing about last night... I am writing about my last night here! Right now I am sitting at Mercado de la Reina - the restaurant that Jefe, Manelay, and I frequented during the first week here. A lot has happened over the past few months. In fact, I even wrote a little document on what I gained, but I don't know if I want to post it ;)

Anyways, I have to wait here for another hour before they start dinner and I'm alone, so I'll be bored!

Can't wait to see you all tomorrow!

The Aiport Hotel

My last few days in Florence were very relaxed. The Boboli Gardens were closed when I went the other day, so I went today. I wandered around for a couple of hours, listening to music and enjoying the scenery. I also met up with the two girls I met on the plane ride to Europe. It was their last day of school so we went to a club to celebrate :)

The clock is ticking down. I am in the Milan Malpensa airport on my way back to Madrid. My flight leaves at 7 am and the airport is a good hour away from any hostel, so I decided to rough it and sleep on a bench tonight inside the airport! I feel like a bum, but there is a first time for everything!

Anyways, once I am in Madrid I only have 4 more nights left... I am both sad and happy :)

Florence

Florence has been pretty amazing so far. I saw the David two days ago and it was breathtaking! It is soooo huuge - something like 13 feet tall. I can't believe that someone could carve such a magnificent work of art out of stone!

Today I am visiting the Boboli Gardens which are supposed to be beautiful :)

Just Arrived in Florence!

And now I am waiting for the bus to take me to my hostel :)
