Italia

Where the hell do I begin? I can sincerely say I had a life changing experience. I'm uploading over 500 pictures as I type this. I'm looking forward to going through and editing them.

We went to Venice the first day and went to Murano and saw glass blowing. It was so fascinating and beautiful. What a great form of art! I also went on a gondola around Venice and that was amazing as well.

After Venice, we went to Bologna and Padova and saw some churches. Absolutely breathtaking.

Florence was the third city and one of my favorites. We went to a farm in Tuscany and had a cheese tasting (I thought of you Luke and I would like to thank you for training me because I knew more about cheese than most people). Florence is such a beautiful city filled with history and so much art. I got to see David and it was breathtaking.

Our last few days were spent in Rome, my absolute favorite city. We went to the Vatican and I saw the Sistine Chapel. Words cannot explain what I felt. We went to the Colosseum and it was surreal. What I've learned in world history was real and tangible. I'm still not over it. We also went to Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps which were both so incredibly beautiful.

I don't know how to form words to explain how much this trip meant to me.

But now it's time to edit pictures.
