Gelata in Florence: Marzo Pazzo

I've heard the month of March called "Marzo Pazzo" all month, and now I believe it.
Just 6 days ago it was FREEZING, snowing, sleeting, cloudy and frigid at every hour. But today (and yesterday) None other than a wonderfully warm and sunny high of 21 celsius. Take that, Los Angeles! I fell asleep on the grassy hill on campus again, and although i woke up with beetles in my hair and red marks all over my arms from twigs and weeds, It was so great to just relax in the sun like the good old days. If there is one thing I can say about poor weather, it is that what it does for ones appreciation of good weather is stupendous and can only be thought of as a blessing. I know I have many, many a cold day ahead of me-- But It makes all the warm days after that much sweeter. Also, watching plants bloom daily and actually SEEING spring happen in front of my eyes us a spectacle to behold.

Anyway, this week/weekend were very chilled out. Some Australians that Lindsay and Ginger met in Switzerland were in Florence for the night so we showed them a good time. Even if we did spend half the night chasing a thieving gypsy.
Dani and I visited the Teatrino where our play will be staged later in April, the place is truly gorgeous.

In conclusion, I am turning 19 in 8 days, and it will be quite the monumentous occasion. Dani, Kelly and I are going to Sicily and planning only to lounge on the beach and drink all day long... God bless canolies and islands.
