Today my roommates and I were able to sleep in and it felt great! However, today proved to be the most exhausting and overwhelming day since I've been here. We went to Ikea to get mattress pads because our mattresses are hard as bricks and have the same support as a piece of cardboard. I saw online that the Ikea here in Florence has a free shuttle back and forth so we were determined to find it. After wandering around for a while (thinking we were in the right spot) we finally went in to a "tourist information station", asked for directions, and finally found the shuttle stop. Ikea was about twenty minutes away but we ended up being there for two hours! It was so huge and super crowded, and the fact that everything was in Italian (no surprise there) took us forever to find all that we were looking for. After a couple hours we finally found everything we needed, had lunch, and then got back on the shuttle to go back to our apartment.
I have also learned to expect huge crowds anywhere you go in Florence on the weekends, it's crazy!
Hoping to Skype with my family tonight! So Mom if you're reading this, please check your emails as well :)
