We arrived in Settignano on Monday, August 26. It is nice to be settled into our "own" place, at least for the next 12 weeks. Settignano is a suburb of Florence, which is on a hill that overlooks Florence. It gives us a beautiful view of Florence, especially at sunset.
We have been exploring Florence by bus, which the kids are loving. It is convenient to be on the bus and leaving the car behind because there are no worries about where to park, how much is parking, will I get a ticket?, etc. We are about ready to sell our car and just relax and enjoy the Florentian lifestyle.
Four students arrived today and we had a good time with them in Florence having pizza and gelato. I look forward to a fun and educational semester.
Hopefully, by the end of the semester I can have a conversation with someone in Italian that consists of more than simply asking where the bathroom is.
