Rain, Rain, Go Away

I am learning very quickly that is rains a lot in Florence. The good thing about the rain is that it does not rain heavily everyday. I have found that it will rain and stop and then rain and stop again. The rain is also usually just a mist or sprinkle. However, it rains almost everyday and thus makes it hard to do laundry. Anyway, enough of my rain rant and lets get to my day shall we? I started my day off feeling pretty great. I went to Italian this morning and did pretty well, in my opinion. I think I am catching on to some of the basics. After Italian I came back to the apartment to check my email and to my delight found that the elevator and lights in the foyer were working after a week of not working. It seems to be perfect timing for these to come back because my knee started to hurt again today and stairs can be very hard on my knee. So yay! After fighting with my internet I decided to take a walk to the Duomo to take some pictures for a drawing I needed to do. I did and it had stopped raining by the time I go there. I took my pictures and then decided to go down to the river and take some pictures with my digital to post on facebook. It started to rain while I was on the bridge, but I was still utterly relaxed. It is so peaceful to me, I am going to try to go down there everyday if I can. After my walk I came back home and found my internet working better. This was good because I had an email from Dr. Kerr to come down to his office before he closed in 15 minutes. I walked as fast as I could and wouldn't it figure that the elevator in that building wasn't working? So I climbed 5 flights of stairs painfully. I got to his office with 2 minutes to spare. When I was done getting the medicine from him I went down the 5 flights of stairs, a lot more painful than going up, and went home. So here we are a few hours later. I got my drawing done and I am relaxing on my bed. Keep your fingers crossed that this medicine helps. Honestly I don't think it will because it hasn't in the past, but you never know. So even though it may sound like an eventful day, it was pretty calm for me and going down the river was the highlight for me. I posted the pictures of the river on my facebook for anyone who wants to see the place that brings me peace.
