joshua trees and alleyways

last night we went to this pub called the joshua tree, owned by a really nice american guy with dreads. i like it bc it is a nice mix of locals and students who are abroad. almost the whole group went last night after we walked around for a while, the others considered even going to this club called space electronic discotheque. i completely vetoed the suggestion after i saw the name, though we ended up going after a few beers at the joshua tree. it actually turned out to be okay, definitely more foreign kids than italians. we met a group of australian boys who were really fun so we hung out there for a while. it was only 6 euros to get in which is an absolute miracle when it comes to entrance fees, it even included a drink.

we just got out of our pseudo italian class. we didnt have real class because its a holiday here called Epiphany, celebrating the magi. there is a big parade in about an hour which is supposed to be great so im looking forward to that.

not much more to say today. it is our last night at the hostel before we move into our families tomorrow so we may go out again tonight. compared to paris, cost wise florence is pretty rad, i only spent 21 euro altogether, as opposed to a usual 40 in france. im rooming with clarissa and we found out that we are living way north by the train tracks. im a little apprehensive about our location as we are not by ANYTHING and two miles from linguaviva, meaning we have to take a bus everyday. meh.
