Kevin's bucket list....

My friend Kevin Del Rosario studied abroad in Florence one summer, and he wrote me a bucket list of things I need to do while I'm here....  and I'll get started on it today!  But here is the list so that you can get an idea of what to expect.... :)

·         Go to Cinque Terre – take a mountain hike, or ride the trails via mountain bike rental.
·         Take a cooking class in Florence
·         Go to the top of the Duomo – take the stairs, pray while you’re on top.
·         Boboli Gardens – tour the whole place. Sights and art is breathtaking.
·         Ride the Trenitalia to a Random Destination – Trains are cheap and take you to small little villages.
·         Go to Club Andromeda – take a shot of Absinthe. Forget about the rest of the night.
·         Piazza Michelangelo – Beautiful, fun, street vendors.
·         Take one night off, and drink beer at the Duomo stairs (This may become more of a routine rather a bucket list item)
·         Eat Gelato at Grom…every day.
·         Buy a Fake Louis Vuitton Merchandise – negotiating the price is the funniest part. Who knew you could have such an interesting conversation bartering the price of a fake Louis Vuitton wallet.
·         Visit “The David” and take a photo (it is illegal – no cameras allowed)
·         Dinner at Gato il Volpe
·         Attend a Firenze Futbol Match – Wear purple.
·         Eat at McDonalds – Their Italian menu is different from America…interesting options!
·         Go to Zara and shop till you drop – most girls do this anyways.
·         Eat Balsamic Steak at Aqua Al Due.
·         Have Drinks at Kikuya or Lions Fountain.
·         Scooter the Streets of Florence.
·         Space Electronic and Twice - great dance clubs.
·         Test out Trivia Night on Tuesday at Old Stove.
·         Panini at the Oil Shop – or pretty much any sandwich.
·         Late Night Doner Kabobs. There is a small kabob shop on Via Cavour St., by the McDonalds.  Be-friend the late-night workers.  They are always drunk and high. Eventually, they will recognize you, and start handing out free Kabobs to you every night when you come back wasted…
·         Be Safe – Italy is cool, but there can be Creepers. Buddy system!

And I'm off!

Peace. Love. Travel!
