Firenze Girono 17


If you know me well, you might know how much I love IKEA....(strange? yes, it can be)
Some classmates and I made our way to IKEA today, hoping on the free shuttle bus from the main train station. Luckily surviving the trip, (the driver was slightly either in a rush, or partially blind) we managed to get off the bus in one piece and find ourselves in the parking lot in-front of IKEA. Very excited and slightly taken aback by the view (not of the building, even though it is amazing ;p ), the countryside and the hills made me think that I was somewhere other than Italy, perhaps Switzerland or British Columbia. We made our way inside and headed to the cafe, where I was eagerly hoping to get some swedish meatballs and lingonberry sauce..until I saw the price. It was waaay more than I was used to, so I opted for dessert instead (another typical Amy move). After we all ate or drank something, we walked around and gathered what we needed. I needed a pillow- as I have been sleeping on towels since I got here (could lead to my sleeping problem here, maybe?!). Completely happy with my 1.50 euro pillow I met up with some of the girls and we made our way to the Swedish market, where I had round two of desserts- gingersnap cookies, chocolates, and some sweet apple juice. Oh how I love IKEA :)
Unfortunately we couldn't take any pictures inside (lame..)
