Florence, Italy













Hello Everyone! How are you? How was the State Fair?
We arrived in Florence, Italy on Wednesday afternoon. It is very very beautiful here. I like the people, the food, and the language.
Can you find Florence, Italy on the world map?
Can you ask Teacher Eloise to teach you "hello" in Italian?
I will tell you about the photos.
In the first two photos you can see the Italian ice cream. It is very good! It is called gilato. We really like the gilato!
You can see some photos of the streets and the river. You can see one artist drawing on the street. She makes a picture that looks like a very old picture. People leave coins for her. At the end of the day, they wash the streets. A new artist comes and draws another picture.
You can see one photo of me at the bottom of some stairs. We climbed up the stairs to the top of a hill. You can see photos of the city from the top of the hill.
Tomorrow we will take a train to another city called Siena. Then we will go up to a very very small rural town. The name is Spannocchia. We will stay there for one week. We think it will be very peaceful and beautiful!
I miss all of you very very much and think of you a lot! I am excited to see all of you on September 9!
Love,
Teacher Jen

Hello. Teacher Jen
How are you? Hope you are doing well and have a lot of fun. We were very happy at state fair. We were seperated by groups and walked around about three hours. I have seen a very very big pumpkin about 834lbs I've never seen before.

Hi Teacher Jen,
