Casa Vecchia 4 - Home For the Next 3 Months

Here are some pictures of our "dorm" which is really part of a house. We (Andres, Ryan, Jeff a.k.a. "Hollywood", and myself) lucked out and got an "off-campus" place due to overcrowding at Santa Chiara.

This is San Giuliano. The church with it's piazza space that doubles as parking lie right next to Santa Chiara. The building on the left is Casa Vecchia where we are staying. Directly behind me is the street to get up to our place.

Vicolo Repente is the street you take to get up to our place. If you couldn't guess repente stands for repentance. Ironic in more than one way.

This is what Vicolo Repente looks like from the bottom. It may be appropriate to repent before traveling down it as it's one of the steepest streets in Castiglion Fiorentino. Our place is just off to the right.

The door to the left is the entrance to our place. Eventually we're going to get some plants and have a "garden-off" with the neighbors.

Our foyer.

The living room or office/computer space. This was taken the first night when it was crazy cold as you can tell by Andres' attire.

Finally the bedroom. You can see three beds in frame. I'm basically taking this shot from atop my bed. Our closets are off to the left out of the shot. The bathroom is also out of shot but there is one. We were also lucky enough to get a bidet.
So that's the place where we'll be living for the next three months. It isn't five star but it works.
