The Duomo is to my right and the Arno River is to my left as I'm typing this. Hard to believe it, but I am calling Florence, Italy home for the next three and a half months doing a study abroad program at Scuola Lorenzo de' Medici. If anyone has any suggestions on things to see or places to go in Florence, Italy, or Europe at large I would greatly appreciate them. I am on a budget, so flying first class and staying at anything but a hostel is out of the question, but I won't let that stop me from seeing what Europe has to offer!

Much thanks.
