Day 7 Friday March 18 Bummer my last full day here :(

Happy Independence Day Frenzie! As usual we woke up early and were and the ISA office by 10 am for our meeting we were able to use the internet etc. Because the internet at the hotel was horrible. this day was our last full day in Italy. Our trip was coming to an end but we still had many more thins to see and do. That day we had another guided tour to the Medici Tombs, New Sacristy San Lorenzo, Duomo, and the Baptistery. We got our long tour cut because everyone was so exhausted we went to the best part which was Basilica Di Santa Maria del Fiore located in Piaza del Duomo. One of Italias largest churches. We then went up to the top of the church which was not easy because it took 486 step to get there and unfortunately because it was old there was no elevator. When we finally reached the top all those steps were worth it the view was amazing the view took my breath away. Like I keep saying all the pictures you can take but its not as beautiful as actually living the experience. After a while the class decided to go back down and we were able to do as we pleased. I stayed up there for like 45 more minutes with my BFF Aura and Javier, we did not want to leave this amazing view so quickly. So we stayed taking it all in looking and appreciating Florence and all of Florence because we can actually see everything. We also stayed up there fooling around and taking pictures. After that we stopped at the hotel to get a coupe more people from our group to go shopping. We walked around and bought some stuff I was the best bargain shopper ever and enjoyed talking down prices that day however nobody wanted to bargain they were mean I think because it was friday. We then went back home and got ready for our farewell dinner. We had beans with sausage and gelato for dessert. Then me and Aura decided to walk around town and enjoy our last day around town we bought some wine and chocolate, sat down by the carousal and talked enjoying the Italian atmosphere. We thought to ourselves every night going out to clubs isn't enjoying the night we can go to a club in the US for that lets just chill out for a bit around town. Then later most of the group also stayed in and Derek bought us some wine and we just drank wine talked and packed our bags. It was a nice relaxing night and good day to end our last full night in Italia.
