Something awesome I saw: My family! After not seeing them all summer, we all got to meet up in Venice. How cool is that? Venice! It is just a beautiful place. Glass blowing! This man made a horse out of glass in 50 seconds! Wow!
Something awesome I did: Gondola ride! This has been a longtime dream of mine! It was awesome except that our driver man was kind of a big dull dud. Didn't even matter though.
Something silly: the amount of maps it took for us to get to the restaurant we were looking for... not to mention getting back home.
Pisa:
Something awesome I saw: The craziest thing! There is a tower there that is legit leaning. I know it sounds made up, but for real it is.
Something awesome I did: Well I held up that tower that is leaning, just so it doesn't fall. Man am I tired.
Something silly: When my sister tried to push the tower over! who does that??
Lucca:
Something awesome I saw: the city that is old timey and walled in!
Something awesome I did: walked on those city walls and acted like soldiers.
Something silly: The way that I slept the entire way there and back and missed all the interesting things our guide was telling us. oops.
Florence:
Something awesome I saw: Some really awesome art including Michelangelo's David and the Medici tombs! Also we got to see what Tuscany is all about. I like that place :-).
Something awesome I did: Climbed to the top of the Duomo and got to see all of Florence from the sky!
Something silly: The mismatching fashion show my brother and I put on later that night. Hah
Rome:
Something awesome I saw: A lot of really old things, but my favorite was the Colosseum! Also we went to the Vatican which was pretty sweet. Sistine Chapel! It really is amazing. I was in shock.
Something awesome I did: learned all about the history of everything from my brother while wandering from extremely old thing to extremely old thing. Managed to take pictures of the Sistine Chapel ceiling and wall without getting in trouble! mwahahaha
Something silly: got locked behind a cage/gate type thingy in our apartment... eventually someone came and told us that we had to press a tiny hidden button on the wall. We are so smart. Also, Parthenon/Pantheon confusion. I'm still not sure which one we saw.
