You've dropped something...

Events of the day:

-Woke up around 11:30 & headed to central market for some fresh grocery shopping. We bought bread, fresh turkey, Asiago & Parmesan, strawberries & grapes, and homemade GNOCCHI!! I love that we are eating such wholesome foods, and cheaply at that. On the way back from the market a vendor shouted after us that we accidently dropped something... apparently it was his heart. Oh, soo cheesy.
-Margherita pizza for lunch in front of the Santa Croce. Cheesy, but of the desirable variety.
-First class of the day @ 3 pm-5:30: History of Italian Renaissance- I dig my professor. She has a British accent for having grown up in London, but was born in Germany. They're about 10 students total (me included), all girls. She's invited us for afternoon sometime at your home with her little dog.
-Next class was @ 6:15-7:15: Beginning Italian- Awesome professor!! He's from/lives in Pisa and soo goofy. I have this twice a week- score, I want to speak Italian already!
-Got out around 8, hadn't eaten since that piece of pizza so I was famished. Tonight we cooked our homemade gnocchi with pesto sauce, and our fresh fruit for dessert. The gnocchi was beyond amazing.
-Heard about a jazz + gypsy band playing in one of the Piazza's just a bridge down from us so we went to check it out. I love live music. The atmosphere is always one of comradery. The crowd is just having a good time listening to a bunch of guys who are having a good time playing for you. Genius. So 2 guitars, stand-up bass, and a violin making lovely music for the packed audience to relish in the cool night air (about 63 F tonight- it's getting chilly quick!)
-Walked along the river and heard more music coming from the Ponte Vechio so we let our ears carry us over there and just sat and enjoyed for a while.
