I'm here!

Hey everyone! So I made it the flight was not that bad at all I watched 3 movies then fell asleep so it went by pretty quick. We landed in switserland and me and a few friends decided to get a drink at the bar..might make for a better flight to florence haha. so we went up to the bar they tell me to go first of course I have no idea what im doing so i asked the lady for a glass of red of course she looks at me like im crazy and says um sit down...then we sit down and realize shes not going to come to our table so we move on to the next bar...much better experience we order swiss beer which was good then we asked these swiss police officers to take our picture and they look at us and say no. so our swiss experience was interesting! Anwyway a few ours later we finally arive at our hotel get to our room and go to dinner. I went with my room mates which are all nice we went out to a tattoria and everyone was nice to us but did not speak english. I had "country soup" it was soup with garlic bread inside it and baked interesting but really yummy! Walking back to the hotel took about an hour instead of 20 mins because we of course got lost which im sure is going to happen alot because every street looks exactly the same. Today we got to our apartments I will post pics later, it is an old building there are 6 girls 3 different apartments but we share a main entrance so really I just have one room mate..if that makes any sense? So far I have met tons of people and everyone is super friendly so im really happy with everything and can't wait for this to feel like home. We just not got home from dinnner it was a long day of meetings orentations and getting settled in and on top of it all I am soooo tired. Hope I get a good sleep tonight!
Ciao
