Lazy Sunday

It's Sunday, the quietest day of the week here in Florence. Today was a pretty good day for me. I started it out with a good nights sleep. I slept late and woke up feeling pretty good. I have been able to eat and feel pretty good after I do so. It rained overnight and into the day. However there was about a 3 hour lull when the sun came out. I took advantage of this opportunity and decided to go out for a walk and take some pictures for my photo class. I was pleasantly surprised why the weather. It was warm and sunny, and I actually regretted wearing my jacket. I started out walking around the Duomo because I know that area. Then I decided to not worry about getting lost and wander. I actually didn't get lost and ended up at the river and the Ponte Vecchio. It was so beautiful. I was astonished at how calming it was. I found peace as I walked next to the river. It was the most beautiful site I could have imagined and I didn't want to leave. It was at this moment that I realized that I am in love with this city and it's calming affect. After strolling along the river for a bit I decided to turn back and go home. Apparently I chose a good time to do this because it started raining as I walked in the door or the apartment. I wanted to go out again but it didn't stop raining. I decided going out in the rain was a bad idea because I am trying to avoid a potential cold and that would just help whatever may be brewing in me. So I spent the rest of the day at home. I made some tortellini for dinner that my stomach has handled very well. The only thing that would have made this day better is if I could have shared it with the people I love and miss from home.
