Ah, surprises

Sunday dawned a bright, glorious day. Few clouds but a chilly temperature due to the wind. This morning I spent catching up on my homework for Global Issues tomorrow. We have our midterm for it tomorrow and I needed to finish the assignment before starting to study for it. After finishing the reading I watched a few back episodes of Grey's Anatomy online. Oh, I was crying like a baby during most of it as some parts were very emotional.

Around 1ish, Allyson comes and asks if Betsy and I wanted to join her and Ania in meeting Adam in Florence. Adam came here as a surprise for Michelle and we went to meet him in Florence, show him around a bit, and then bring him back up to Fiesole. So, the four of us head for Firenze and get off at the Duomo. We find Adam's hotel and then took him on a mini-tour of some of the sites in Firenze. After splitting up, Allyson, Adam, and I walk to the stazione to get bus passes. While we're paying for the passes (Adam needed one and I just ran out of my old pass), the #7 bus pulls out of the stazione. On that bus was the rest of the group that went to Venice this past weekend. Allyson and I couldn't believe that the surprise we were planning was ruined because of timing. The whole group found out Adam was here before we wanted them to. After catching the next #7 bus up to Fiesole, we walk into Villa Bonelli and were told that Michelle knew.

I listened to a bunch of stories about Venice and before we knew it it was time for dinner. We ate at Etrusca and had a great dinner of pasta and grilled chicken breast. Most of us had the gelato for dessert.

I now have to continue studying for this exam as Bob hasn't told us anything about it. I need to know the names of various people from the two books we're reading and the newspaper articles.
