Ciao!
its freezing here!! Living in hawaii, i forgot what fall and winter are like. however, the changing colors of the leaves are beautiful. and its kind of fun to dress in 3 layers of clothes. we are now into our 2nd week of school in florence. this past weekend i had a couple friends visit, so we walked around florence and even toured the Duomo (the main cathedral in forence). its huge and you can see so far from the top! on sunday we went to pisa (a one hour train ride) to see the leaning tower, cool stuff. we have a midterm at the end of this week and a paper due soon enough so ill be hittin the books and the gym!!!

we flew from pisa (itlay) to barcelona on tuesday and met up with our friend, cory from hawaii. he is here visiting friends that are studying in spain.  we went out with them tuesday night and stayed in a nice hostel in the center of barcelona. wednesday we woke up early and went sight seeing, turns out i am a phenomenal tour guide! i took some great pictures with my camera that i cant wait to show you all!! we visited all the sights mainly built by the famous Gaudi.  we visited many museums, monuments, a cathedral, and even the olympic stadium where the 1992 olympics were held.  

wednesday nite we joined up with cory and his friends and went to a barcelona soccer game, which was WILD!

this morning was a little bit of a struggle, but we caught our plane to madrid and are staying with aprils friend at her apartment.  emily is a professional waterpolo player from new zealand. she played for hawaii and also plays on the national team in N zealand.  were going sight seeing tomarrow and will return to florence on saturday.
