Here are some pictures of our apartment. I'm horrendous at taking pictures with my camera. The picture on the left is of my room and on the right is of course our kitchen. None of them too big or nice but they both suffice. This past weekend we were supposed to go to Florence however a train strike de-railed our plans, gorgeous play on words there. However, this weekend was enjoyable. Friday night me and Mike participated in a "beer challenge" at one of our favorite bars. Of the 74 people who tried before us only 4 had succeeded, none of which were American and one of which was canadian. We figured we needed to bring pride back to the States and that's what we did as we completed the challenge with ease. I'll spare you the details of what the challenged entailed but if your curious you can ask me and I will tell you. However, our name, home country, and quote will forever be engraved into the VIP section of La Tana dell'orso. Saturday we decided to stray from the italian cuisine and try a chinese restuarant. It was very good and cheap but I was disapointed to see that apparantly chinese restaurants don't have fortune cookies.
