Dear Diary,

Today was absolutely amazing! Man, the way I saw Florence really opened my eyes! I owe Luca sooo much!

We started out with this awesome lunch. I guess Luca woke up early and while his aunt Adrienne and I were sleeping, he made tons of food. Waffles and eggs and fresh bruit salad and the list goes on. I think my thighs might've cried at the mere sight of the food… But it definitely was delicious!

Adrienne had an appointment after we ate, so she had to leave. She's a photographer, and an amazing one from what I can tell. It's too bad she didn't get to spend the day with us though. She seems so awesome! Cool like a free spirit! Plus, Luca and I had a super great time!

He knew this park we could go to, so we hiked there. I really have no idea why this park isn't always crowded or on every tourist map known to Florence. It was absolutely gorgeous. It had the best view of the city. It was… I don't know. I guess all I could really say there was "wow".

If that wasn't awesome enough, there were carriage rides around the park! We only went on a short ride to the other end of the park, but it was still great. Even the horses are more beautiful in Italy! That's how crazy it is! haha!

On our way back, I remember telling Luca that I want to go back there before we leave. He just kinda laughed. And with that adorable accent of his, he told me, "the best is yet to come." And the look in his eye when he said that… My gosh! I have no idea…

Ooh! Tommy's calling! I guess I'll just cut this one short and write some more later!
