Moving Again

Today we moved apartments - back to the one we were in originally. Our flatmate was nice, but we could not really understand her moods, what we were suposed to touch and not touch, what we needed to purchase ourselves, etc. We ended up feeling very much like unwanted invaders most of the time rather than paying guests. Anyway, we dropped our stuff off at the new (old) place where we will share a flat with 4 other students. We have to wait until 5 to get the key to the room and since it is Easter weekend the museums are packed - we wandered a bit and are now at InternetTrain surfing.

Tomorrow we will go to the Pasqua celebrations where we will witness a wooden cart being drawn through the streets to the Duomo by white oxen. The archbishop of Firenze will light a symbolic dove with holy fire, it will fly down to the courtyard where it will alight on the wooden cart filled with fireworks and cause it to "explode".
