We went to the San Miniato Church and we saw the monks there do their chants. It was an interesting experience but I only liked it for about five minutes. After that it was kind of boring.

IT was really neat. The first three floors are open to the public, but we got to see the rest because our director knows the lady that lives there and owns the castle.

It looked out over the Italian countryside, which is very... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=158166&go=rachel_ann Tue, 30 May 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=155754&go=rachel_ann Well not a whole lot has gone on since we went to San Gimignano and Siena.

Then we went to the Works of the Duomo museum...which was kind of interesting. ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=154078&go=rachel_ann Mon, 22 May 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=153453&go=rachel_ann Today was cool I guess. We had classes this morning. Then tonight after dinner I went into Florence with some people. It was cool, we just went to this place and got some gelato. I got the mint kind, it was ok, a little too minty though. Anyways...then we just walked around and saw the Ponte Vecchio at night...too bad all the jewelry shops were already closed. We also saw two Harding students... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=153453&go=rachel_ann Sat, 20 May 2006 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=153151&go=rachel_ann Today was our first day to go into Florence.
