CET Student Correspondent News: The Bucket List

I can't believe this is the last week of classes! My friends and I have put together a bucket list for activities we want to do before our program ends on May 14th. Some of the highlights are:

1) Watch the sunrise from Piazzale Michelangelo

2) Have dinner at Tre Panche

Traveltruth.com calls this their "absolute favorite trattoria in Florence ... a small, three-bench affair ... a contemporary Tuscan secret that is unknown to most of the guidebook writers. Order the beef in a reduced balsamic vinegar glaze and any pasta with truffles ... You might run into Italian movie stars or young up and comers from Florence’s thriving arts community. This tiny haunt of true Tuscan cuisine using the finest ingredients will win you over." (Via Pacinotti 32 055-583724)

3) Go to the rose garden

   


4) Have a picnic in Boboli gardens

5) Go to an aperitivo at Kitsch

6) Hike in the Cinque Terre

7) Cook one last Italian meal

I will be busy getting ready for finals and taking advantage of Florence while I'm still here for the next 10 days!
