La Coppa del Mondo

As you all know by now Italy won the World Cup! I have still not recovered from this as the partying never stopped. The cup was right around the same time that all of the Italians finished thier exams and began their summers so my last month of living in Florence was not quiet! The night of, the streets were packed full of honking cars and Vespas all decorated with numerous enthusiastic Italians waving flags, ringing bells, and what not. We watched the game at the bottom of Piazzale Michelangelo where there was a giant outdoor screen set up. We were with all the Italians who had arrived 4 hours before the start of the game just to get a spot... After the game we traveled around the city in awe of all the crazy celebration until we ended up at the Duomo where crowds of people were dancing to crazy men with drums. By far one of my favorite moments ever.
