Dear Diary,
So, my day started off pretty simple. I just planned on hanging out around town, maybe doing a little shopping. I did stay in town, but no shopping. I actually stayed in the same place the entire day.
I was just gonna stop for lunch in the bistro, but Luca was working and we started talking. His accent is so cute, I don't have the heart to tell him I understand Italian! haha! But it's nice to know what him and the other guy working there say about me…
Where was I..?
Oh yeah! So, we were talking about what I've been doing here and my other plans while I'm here. He said that all of it sounds good (since most of my plans were from his advice anyways), but there's something else I have to do. He said I should spend a few days in Florence. It would be really stupid to spend my entire trip in Rome, not that I think about it. I mean, even with the tours I've been on and random day trips, it's not really experiencing Italy.
So Luca started to help me plan a trip to Florence! He said he has family up there we can stay with, so we can go up for a couple of days without worrying about hotel or anything. And transportation should be easy because there's a train that goes from Rome to Florence. It's sorta a long roadtrip, so I'm glad there's a train. I mean, even if there wasn't, with everything we planned, it definitely seems worth it.
I guess it probably seems weird for me to take off with some guy I just met… But he really is a nice guy. And as for listening to him talk to his friend about me, he's been a complete gentleman. As crazy as it might sound, I do trust him. I think this Florence trip will be fun. We're gonna head out in a few days, so yay!
