A Rested Weekend

This weekend so far has been pretty relaxing. I have caught some sinus thing or a cold. Either way I needed to take it easy this weekend. On Friday I went to Accademia to see the David. Just walking into the museum, let alone seeing David was an experience in itself.  I was moved walking in and seeing the paintings all over the wall and the sculptures we had talked about in our History of Interiors class. The David was CRAZY. How the heck does someone sculpt something like that? I cannot even begin to imagine. I was sitting there and it literally looked like he could move. It was a fantastic sight. Then I shopped around a little to stay out of the apartment since that was what I really wanted to do. After shopping I came back to relax a bit. I met up with some friends that I met here that go to George Washington University. We went to a place in english called the Cat and the Fox. I had some amazing tortellini with some cream sauce and I snacked on some bread that they had. I also ate some of my friends meals because they could not finish all of theirs.

I just got back from a ballet. I went to see a MidSummer Nights Dream. It was beautiful! The last time I did anything with that play was watching it in Junior High. I saw it as a play version. It is completely different as a ballet. So gorgeous. We took some pictures before we went out and inside the theater. Best part... we paid 11euro for our seats... well the top mezzanine layer was closed, so we got to pick any spot we wanted in the more expensive seats and sat there. I believe we sat in 40-50euro seats. It was the lower mezzanine, not the floor, but it was a great view. Center stage :). I will post some pictures as soon as I get them from Hannah's camera sometime this weekend. Best part (not in the photos, sorry Mom)was I got to wear my rain coat that I bought two years ago. FINALLY!

Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy/snowy. So it might be a day of more museums. I tried to go to some today but everything closes at 1pm on weekends. We have an assignment thats due in a couple of weeks so we might try and get some of that done. Along with some other smaller assignments for different classes.

So look forward to reading about more further in the week.
