finally talked to the doorman! One of the buildings that we often pass has a doorman who's really friendly. At the very beginning of the semester I made it my goal to befriend him, but by the time I worked up the courage to say hi to him, he disappeared. A different, much less friendly, doorman replaced him. A couple days ago, I noticed that the doorman changed again. Nadia and I spent several days trying to decide if it was the original doorman or a third one. We finally decided he was the original, so we struck up a conversation with him and took photos with him. He was very friendly and disappointed that we only met him now, with only a week left in Florence.

went to dinner at Bari's with Em, Hardy, Kelly, and Nadia. Bari is the woman in charge of Creative Campus, the organization through which we were organizing the auction. It was kind of neat to go to dinner in an Italian apartment. Bari's American, so it wasn't quite a traditional Italian meal, but it was still interesting.
