Getting to Florence itself has been quite the excursion. We took off from JFK at 3:50 US time on Tuesday. The Lufthansa flight to Frankfurt wasn't too bad, and might I say I truly enjoyed the warm moist lemon scented towels before each meal.
Meal 1: (dinner) mixed greens with thousand island dressing, pasta with red sauce and mushrooms, ciabatta bread, monetary jack cheese, and chocolate moose with white chocolate shavings and a strawberry....truly delectable!
Meal 2: (breakfast) a multi-grain roll with jam and butter. A piece of cheddar cheese and a fruit plate with strawberries, kiwi, and watermelon....again, yummy!
I watched the Duchess on my laptop complements to Karen....it was such a saucy movie!
And of course, there was a crying baby on the flight. I'm not just talking a few cries here and there. This child yelped and scream for probably about 7 of the 7.5 hours...awesome, again God's way of telling me that children aren't my cup of tea.
It was a little difficult to sleep so I chatted it up with some new girls that I met from UCONN most of the time who are really awesome! One of which works at abercrombie=endless amounts of conversations. We arrived in Germany at 5:30am German time.
Once we got to Frankfurt, things went down very quickly. I purchased my first legal German beer and a croissant...both quite tasty. Then we tried to sleep somewhere for the remaining 5.5 hours and found no where but the floor and chairs to try and catch a few zzz's- quite impossible.
The Germans weren't very pleased with us, it seemed, when we walked into the terminal. I'm pretty sure they were bothered by our normal voice level...opps. And someone told one of the other girls that the way we dressed/acted made it very obvious that we were American...I'm proud of it!!
We finally got on the flight at 11:35am German time. We had to take a bus from the terminal to the puddle jumper of a plane, awesome.
Thank goodness we finally arrive in Florence 1.5 hours later around 1pm
More about the apartment, city, and new roomates in the next post!
