It’s been awhile, here we go.
The entirety of last week we spent in Italy. We spent 4 days in Rome, 2 in Naples, and 2 in Florence.
In Rome we saw tons of ancient architecture, from the Colosseum, to the Pantheon (not Parthenon), to the Market, Column, and Forum, of Trajan. We also saw the Vatican including St. Peters, The Musei Vaticani, and The Sistine Chapel. We also saw tons of Bernini and Michelangelo, (and other ninja turtles) sculpture and fountains.
In Naples we took the train to Pompeii and spent a day there exploring the 200 acres of ruins, and the next day visited the Isle of Capri. We also visited a sweet Spanish castle where we took some awesome pics (to come).
In Florence we spent the whole first day on our RENTED SCOOTERS flying around the Tuscan hills. We visited a cool town called Greve, and ate lunch, and of course took pictures. On the way back town we ended up having to get on the highway and then dart in and out of traffic (AWESOME) in downtown Florence. I finally felt like a real European. Luckily I spent several years in high school training as a professional getaway driver. How else do you think I pay for all of my shoes? My driving skills prevailed and we made it back to hostel safe and sound. The next day we spent seeing Florence, most importantly Santa Maria Della Fiore and the surrounding area. Sweet Action.
When I organize all my pictuers, I will post some. You’ll have to come back.
