Day 9- L' Opera

Hello blog-followers!

Day 9 Thursday

After a long tiring day of learning Italian vocabulary and songs, Gail and I went to the Florence Street market near the Dumo Church to look for leather purses and boots. Our short shopping trip turned into a whole day event! We ended up stopping at many different stores outside the market. Currently many retail stores are having 70% off sales to clear out the shelves for the new fashion season, so we of course were making our way around the town. Living in one of the largest fashion countries has its perks!!

After a long afternoon of shopping we headed home, had a fantastic dinner, and quickly ran off to the Italian Opera. Dressed to the nines, our group had seats on the second level with a great view. The Opera was about a love triangle and a portrayal of how strong minded Italian women are. It was very beautiful, but unfortunately I was so exhausted from the long day and lack of naps, I accidentally fell asleep.

After the Opera I instantly fell asleep once I hit the pillow. I was dreaming of my weekend adventures to come in Venice!
