Uffizi, a run along the ponte vecchio, and other things

Well hello! I know it's been a few days so i figured i would update this.  We finally semi-have internet in our apartment.  It is really slow though but it's much easier than having to pick up my stuff, go to the hotel, and wait for my computer to charge.  Things have been going really well.  I think i'm finally starting to get a feel for florence and it's a lot easier to navigate.  Wednesday was a great day.  I woke up early, walked around, and went to the uffizi.  Since i was a student i was allowed free entry which was a definite plus.  I then walked around and at at this cute little caffe called WINE BAR.  I had the most amazing salad i have ever eaten there.  The ingredients were so fresh.  It was excellent  and i'll definitely be going back there.  Then i got home and decided to venture out for a run because it has been raining every day here so i thought i'd savor a day where it finally wasn't raining.  I ran along the ponte vecchio and the river which was very beautiful.  I want to find other roots though that are not as crowded because i kept having to maneuver my way around people.  I was wearing a michigan shirt when i was running and i passed some guy also running in a michigan shirt and we both stopped to talk about michigan.  Random, but it shows the bond between wolverines haha.  My classes are all pretty interesting so far, but i wont bore you all with the minute details of all of them.  Last night was a lot of fun.  I went out with some girls to a relaxed bar and then we went to this club called Twice which was a lot fun.  Very cute waiters.  Today i woke up and walked around a bit but i'm going to venture out and attempt to get some swanky and fashionable italian rainboots so i can look great in the rain! A presto!
