FIRENZE

For Teny's Birthday Celebration, which we all know are always QUITE the celebration, and for Easter weekend, Teny, Andrea, and I went to FLORENCEEEE. I was absolutely obsessed with this city. I want to go back. And live. Eat pasta and pizza and drink wine and look at art all day long. WHADDA LIFE that would be, am I right everybody??? I'm too lazy to write more so I'm just gonna post photos. But know that it was the.best.weekend.ever and that I love Florence. And I'm still really bad at Italian.

Singing "My Heart Will Go On." Very beautiful. Very authentically Italian.
Casual Town Hall

Rape of the Sabine Woman



You can't see it here, but the artist put his own face on the back of the head

Look at the motion! SUCH incredible realistic quality to every muscle and part of the body. The sculptor was showing that he understands a woman's body, a young man's body, and an older man's body. And they were all different and all so real!

SO BEAUTIFUL
Ponte Vecchio
I <3 Florence

Couples write their names on locks and attach them all around the Ponte Vecchio area 
for good luck in love

The Boar. You put a coin in the mouth, and where it falls dictates whether or not you will return to Florence. WE WILL

MOM AND DAD IN LONDON

I'm the luckiest kid in the world: both Mom and Dad came to visit me in London to see my final performance of Much Ado About Nothing. We had such a great time and it was so good to see them, and of course, I was sad to say goodbye. Looking forward to seeing them again when I come home in three weeks! Here are some photos from their visit.
