We are here, all is well

A view of the city from the top of the cathedral dome.

We arrived in Florence yesterday around 12:30, and we settled into our apartments. Everything has gone very smoothly! The planes were all on time, and with the exception of some problems with heat, which have been resolved, the apartments are all good. We visited the cathedral and climbed Brunelleschi's dome this morning. The students are all in Italian class right now. After class, we will go have ice cream at Perche` No, my favorite gelateria in Florence. Hopefully students will write about their experiences and post some pictures in the next few days. Ciao! Nancy
