Well, I've been super-busy! It's awesome here- I am literally in love and the thought of leaving makes me so upset. So, I wont think or write about it. So the weekend after Rome Scott came to visit- Which was terrific: we did Santa Croce and saw the tombs of many famous Italians. We also went up to Fiesole finally which was incredible. The tuscan countryside was gorgeous on the bus ride up and then you can see the whole city. It was so amazing. Then we did Piazzale Michelangelo, which is another great view of Florence.
Okay so I'll recap Verona too...went there with Alli and Scott the weekend before last and it was a gorgeous little city. We saw the Roman Arena, the House of Capulet, The Basilica San Zeno, etc. We also went to Bardolino which is on Lake Garda- the largest lake in Italy. It was incredibly beautiful. So other than some major travel mishaps, that weekend was great.
PARIS
This weekend was so so so much fun. I got to see Josh! And Laura, Callie, Seth and Norah!
It was terrific- Josh made us really fat all weekend with pastries, crepes, etc etc etc.
We saw a LOT in two days so I will recap my favorites- The Eiffel Tower- even more incredible and huge than I imagined...The Louvre- probably the most impressive place I have ever been. But that's tough because I live in Florence, which amazes me everyday.
We saw Sacre-Ceour, the Arc de Triomph, Notre Dame, Champs Elysee, the Pantheon, Pont Alexandre III...
Josh was a terrific tour guide- he had historical facts written on note cards so he could tell us about what we were seeing. One sweet thing was that he loved to surprise us (or at least me because this was my first time in Paris) He would be like, "Go look around that corner" and there would be a view of the whole city. It was so so beautiful.
I feel like I rushed this entry but I have to make a presentation in Int'l Law tomorrow about genocide- so I should really get to that.
Mom and Wendy Countdown- 9 DAYS!
Shannon countdown- 12 DAYS!
Istanbul- 25 Days!
I'm going to Sicily next weekend with a bunch of people and it's going to be so fun and so hot!
I can't believe midterms are a week from today...not good.
Anyway, I'm having the time of my life- love you all!
Ciao!
