Wow, I can’t believe how much shit is coming together here. I am starting to get a little bit scared because too much random shit just worked out in such a perfect way. I wasn’t even supposed to be in Italy right now! I still have hostels booked in Austria that are going to be charging me for not showing up. I wasn’t even supposed to be here, and now I am going to stay.
Anyways, I signed up for the 6-week language program, and convinced Tye to stay with me too. Tye was not even going to come to Florence either, and when he did he was only going to stay for one night.
My hostel manager, Marcos, has been living and working in the hostel for 2 years now. He loves it, but you can’t be stuck in one place for so long and he just needs a break. When he found out that we wanted to stay for 6 weeks and would need his help to find an apartment, he said that if we wanted to stay for 6 months instead, he would get an apartment with us. It makes it 10 times easier to have him deal with the logistics of apartment contracts and dealing with landlords in Italian
So that’s it! I’m staying in Florence for at least 6 months now! I’ll probably extend the language program over that entire time too; I am going to be fucking great at Italian. This is exactly the thing that I needed. This is exactly why I came out here. I don’t know why or how the hell this all worked out, but I feel like this is exactly where I need to be.
Anyways, to keep the current events updated, two days ago I went to some museum (I can’t remember the name) and saw the most amazing art. It featured the Birth Of Venus, the first and last paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci’s career. They also had on display a lot of sketches, the Vitruvian Man, his famous self-portrait, a lot of his sketchbooks and notes. It was absolutely amazing.
I love this city!

Will you have room for relatives to visit? Time to crrash this party.
Anyway, what are the visa requirements?
How much does an apartment in Florence rent for?
Cool! Tuscany sounds like a great place to celebrate our 30th.
Just as great for an early celebration, I'm sure. :)
Maybe if you want to stay longer and get a working visa you can look into becoming an english teacher? Then you would have an excuse to have to be there.
