Finally Here!

My flight to London....so beautiful! 

London!!

The bus that took us to and from each terminal.  Left side of the road! 
Inside of London Heathrow.  

Zurich, Switzerland. Saw at least 3 of these smoking lounges in the airport, alone.
Finally arrived!! Our hostel for the night.


After a very long 15 hour mess of 3 different airlines, 2 layovers, and no real food, standing on cobblestone in the heart of Florence was one of the greatest feelings.  Not to forget that I am ACTUALLY FINALLY HERE!!!  So much has happened so far in the past 48 hours, and I have learned so much.  I actually ordered my entire lunch in Italian at a caffe today!  But one concept I am thoroughly enjoying so far is being completely immersed in the Italian culture.  It is so intriguing. One aspect in particular, the siestas!!! Such a dream.  My jet lag hasn't been as bad for that reason.

Anyways, here are some pictures for you guys to enjoy! I'll be keeping you posted!
