Today was weird

Ohh Fridays, how i love them.
For some reason it is still really hot in Firenze, which I am not happy about. But I am going to the beach tmw, so I am happy about that.

Today was a weird day though. I met up with this guy who studies art restoration, who is friends with one of my friends. We put together a small speech for the exhibition on impressionism here. Later we went with about 20 people to the exhibition and gave our little speech. But I didnt really know what I was doing the whole time. I like I new sorta of what was going on, and I thought we were just talking about impressionism, but he had notes and stuff. So then when we got to the exhibit, he expected me to talk to the crowd of 20 people, and I was like uuuhhhhhh I cant do that! And it was really bizarre.
But the exhibit was great. It talked about a whole bunch of new diagnostic methods in art. But with testing paints, and different types of rays, you can figure out what is orginial and not, or not even those. But Its really interesting from a restoration point of view, because you dont know what is original. If the painted re-did, or changed a peice of the painting, or someone else.

Its was fun though, because before I went to my friends house for dinner. Classic Italian dinner again, and it was super hot and i didnt stop sweating the whole time. But man I cant wait for it to cool down here
