Jackie Week- Day 1

So, Jackie's first day in Italy. Unfortunately, this coincides with my busiest day of classes. I went to Italian, and then came home and fixed us some brunch. We stopped at Giovanni's for coffee- well, cappuccino for me, ciocolatta for Jackie. :) After coffee, we went and scaled the Duomo. Yup, all 463....again. :) This time it was a little bit less crowded, so that was nice. And it's just different going with Jackie, we had a great time!



After climbing the dome, we went into the Cathedral, which Jackie really enjoyed- you know, it means a lot more to her, as she is actually Catholic. :) Unfortunately, we couldn't catch a Mass in Italy, but Jackie still enjoyed the Cathedral.

After the cathedral, we walked around to see some other sights in Florence- the Baptistery, the Piazza della Signoria, Palazzo Vecchio, Ponte Vecchio. We even stopped by Borgo just to say hello to the guys!

On the way home, we grabbed some gelato before I had to head off to class for the rest of the evening.

Classes dragged on FOREVER....as if 5.5 hours of class isn't long enough already! After class, I came home to meet Jackie and we went over to Brent and Brians to hang out for awhile.
