just got back from teatro verdi! :) my academic visit this semester with prof spini was at the teatro verdi and we were fortunate enough to catch the closing ceremony of the carnevale! :)

the music was just bellissima! the conductor was so entertaining. hahaha very very dramatic. didn't know whether to laugh or keep quiet because i was afraid that my outward burst of laughter was offensive. so anyway the music was beautiful. it lasted about 1.5h. after the intermission they came back with masks! and like fake hair. and they were having so much fun on the stage! the music was more entertaining too. like they were making doggy noises and stuff. it was just. it was fun watching them have so much fun. and they got the audience to interact. i love those italians. ever so entertaining and lovable. well. sometimes :)

after that, we took a walk around the city because it is the last day of the carnevale. lots of people in costume! hahaha everyone out partying tonight. yesterday was my party night. damnit should have waited one more day. and there were dancing on the strips. lots of laughter. that kinda thing. perfect atmosphere.

i had such a good day. i'm loving florence :)
