On a train to Florence

It's a beautiful Wednesday. I finally am able to type on an American keyboard once again; something I apparently have taken for granted. Anywho I'm currently riding the train Florence (Florentia). It's so pretty riding through Italy like this... probably my favorite part of the trip so far; I've missed the country. Ooh, perfect song just started playing: "Belle" by Jack Johnson--that total serene, romantic Italian-esque. :)
Last night was so wonderful. We had girl bonding in our dorm until 3 o'clock in the morn. and we got up at six. :) But it was so nice to just be silly girls together--sometimes you just need that time. And it really brought the girls that did participate in the social hours closer which was needed for this trip. We reminisced of our middle school years (most of us had attended the Loomis schools). Ooh another perfect Jack Johnson song: "Breakdown"... "I hope this old train breaks down then i could take a walk around and see what there is to see time is just a melody..." :D Good moments, good moments.
It's really cool analyzing everyone else's perceptions of this cultural shock and comparing it to my own; it's reassuring to find common ground with my peers. :)
Welp. I shall continue later on. There just might be two blogs for today. ;) Lucky you.
