We had no big plans for Friday so decided a day trip to Fiesole was in order. Fiesole is a little town on the opposite side of Florence than Sesto. We were able to take a bus to the train station in Florence and then switch buses to go out to Fiesole. Laura, the house fellow Amanda, and my roommates Amanda and Kristine went with. The city is pretty small and cute...the reason for many wanting to visit is the amazing view of Florence from the top of the city. Well, we sat and ate our packed lunch while staring down at Florence then walked a while and explored the city. We walked around for a while until we found a nice, high ledge to sit on and relax.
Here's Amanda, the house fellow, me and my roommate Amanda at the ledge that we hung out on. (It's really bad quality because I stole it off of facebook and put it on here!)
After that, we wandered around the city some more then sat down for coffee and relaxed some more. At this point it was about 5:00 and we wanted to make sure we got home before supper, of course!
I was so exhausted and decided to nap for an hour before supper. After supper, I did some skyping with Tracy, a friend from school and my mom. Of course, mom had to go right away becuase she had to go make a cherry pie because Maggie and Phil were coming over for supper...not fair!
Anyway, it was a fun day filled with lots of walking. We made plans on Friday to hike Cinque Terre on Saturday, but more on that in the next post!
Here's Florence from Fiesole. The picture looks better when it's bigger, and it's kind of smoggy looking. Weird. Anyway, it was quite a beautiful sight!
