Blog #45: Trip!

The one trip that probably meant the most to me would have to be my trip to Italy. I went with my family for two weeks during the summer of my junior year. It was so much fun and definitely a long vacation. We visited Milan, where my aunt lives, Venice, Rome, and Florence. I would have to say that my favorite place was Milan, but I loved them all. We also went to the country, also called Tuscany. That was so gorgeous and made me want to live there. While staying in Milan, we went to lake Como and got to see George Clooney’s house. The food was just to die for! They had the best pastas and the soups were amazing. I love Italian food, so I was in heaven. I also got to attend a rock concert with my cousin while staying in Milan. It was interesting to listen to live music in another language. In Venice, we got to take a gondola ride! We also got lost since majority of the city was waterways. I also met some cute young sailors while staying in Venice!! Next, we went to Florence, and there we visited a lot of churches and art galleries. It was not my favorite city, but it was pretty. Lastly we visited Rome, and got to take a tour of an old dirt city and the Coliseum. It was so cool to see how they use to live! We also got to see the Vatican Church and even listen to the Pope speak. I was so surprised that we were able to watch and listen to him speak. He spoke in many different languages! I would have to say that this was one of my favorite trips and there was so many cool things that I got to experience. I am so glad that I was able to travel there with my family.
