Easter in Florence

We got to spend Easter weekend in Florence which was amazing, it's one of the most important holidays in that city/in Italy. 

On easter we went to mass at the duomo, which is the big ass church in the city centre. After mass there was a big parade for Easter outside in the square, where we got to watch me blow up and ox cart. That was a pretty cool sight to see, they brought the cart in with big white ox. They "blew" up the cart with fire works, which lasted about ten solid minutes, which was pretty awesome. However it was raining the whole time, which made having eyeballs dangerous because everyone used umbrellas, imagen a crowd with umbrellas not such a good idea when ur standing around trying to see a parade. 

After the parade we went to a restaurant for lunch which we ended up having to stay for two hours...worst service ever! The food was alright but we waited so long for our courses. Everyone at the resturant was ticked about how long they had to wait for stuff. 

After that we went back to the hostel and packed our stuff to go, however we had our laundry done by the hostel because they offered that service and they lots some of our stuff. Kristy had a sweater that went missing and my pj shirt went missing. We went to the front desk to ask about it but the women there didn't speak any English and told us that she thought our friend Courtney stole it because she was the only other person to get laundry done that day. When we went back the women was going to let us search Courtney's luggage without her there! I am so not happy about that, if someone searched our luggage I would be pissed!
