Because I am writing this in the schools lab, I had to find a picture of the whole piazza online. This picture was the best I could do. HOWEVER, the whole time I have been here, the piazza has been closed off because of evening concerts. Leaving only the steps on which to sit, and the vista consists of the back of a stage. THIS MORNING! This morning I planned on eating my lunch on the steps to the side of the santa croce, but as I round the corner, something catches my eye. What's this? No towering metal stands? No gates piled on the sidewalk only to block the entire street later on? YES! The piazza is open!
The story ends with me sitting beside a street musician sipping on a diet coke and savoring a panini. I had my heart set on my new favorite drink, pelligrino aranciata, but they were out. But no matter, because the piazza was open! Hooray!
