may!

It's now May...and since the weather is better I feel better too!
April 25 was
Italian Liberation Day. A bunch of us went to the Boboli Gardens for a picnic, and later I saw a performance in the Pitti Palace of a celebration of Liberation Day.
That night, we went to see the
Florence Fiorentina vs. Rome Juventus soccer game. There were thousands of people chanting and yelling - we were sitting at the ground level right next to the field! Fiorentina won 4-1, so there were no riots and the paramedics didn't have to do anything.
We also had a
beach day this past Saturday, for our friend Jasmine's birthday! Viareggio is a little beach town in Tuscany - it's really cute like a Californian beach town. There was plenty of sun, even though the water was a bit cold - strangely there were no waves.On Sunday I went to a Bernini Portrait Show at the Bargello. I'm trying to take advantage of my Accademia libretto, which is a student ID/grade book. It gets us into any Italian state museum for free!Mother's Day is coming up! Have a wonderful Sunday, everyone!
