We were bussed out of Rome this morning, bore witness to the rolling hills and flat expanses of wilted sunflowers of Tuscany on the four hour journey, and finally arrived in Florence by late afternoon. As the others were settling into their new apartments and meeting their new families for the semester, Willa and I were only to be welcomed by the doors of the Dante Hotel, a street over from our future host mama’s home. A bit of a scheduling mishap, but we will hopefully (and finally) meet her tomorrow after orientation. Until then, moms.
