Florentina!

today i went to a florentina (the florence MLS team) and they played Palermo. the game was pretty fun but florence lost, and they werent very good haha we dont have the best team in the league apparently. They were pretty slow and didnt look super motivated, their fans seemed way more into the game than the players! but it was still a fun atmosphere and met a few new ppl and we hungout with this grl who was on her honeymoon but her husband got super sick and has been in the hotel for 2 days not able to come out and they had bought these tickets awhile ago and she went by herself the poor thing! so she came over to us and was like i heard u guys speaking english mind if i hangout with you? hahah she was too funny. its a very local team so at the stadium is pretty much all italians no americans or tourists, so that was pretty cool. we outfitted ourselves in florentine gear and headed to the stadium. we didnt take any pictures at the stadium unfortunately but heres me in my florentine hat!! representin the violaaaaa (purpleeeee!)
the stadium was like a 30 minute walk from my house not the worst thing ever. and we got to see a whole new area of florence we didnt know existed. It was in a much more relaxed less touristy everywhere. and whenever theres a soccer game EVERYONE wears the team colors which are purple. you always know when theres a game just by all the purple everywhere, im glad we finally got a chance to go to one. When we were buying our tickets we were just asking for the cheapest section and the guy at the ticketbooth was really nice and was like you guys are asking for the away team section you know tht? were like omg no! we want to sit with florence! so we paid the few extra euro not to be the only florence fans in that section, that couldve been bad hahah it was still only 17euro for the game which isnt bad at all. they lost 2 to 1. they had a lil glimpse of hope second half but it faded fast. after the game we went and got kebabs bc theyre amazingggg and so delicious. Than i did a lil grocery shopping and came home. It was a fun relaxing weekend, which is definitely necessary sometimes. Were constantly doing things here and making the best of our time! which is good obviously just exhausting, need a weekend like this sometimes. :)
