Florence & Pisa

Once upon a time me and my greatest friend on earth ShayLee Bell decided we were going to Florence and Pisa. So we booked us a hostel, bought some Opera tickets, and hopped in the little SMART car. We started our Journey on a beautiful fall day. The drive to Florence was INCREDIBLE. We drove through Tuscany and it was so absolutely gorgeous. I ♥ Fall. Upon arriving in Florence we found out that  Florence has the WORST drivers known to man and it was quite the experience finding our way around. We almost died every 5 seconds. After a nice hunt we found our Hostel, then we continued on our site seeing adventure. Our First stop was seeing the Dumo and Baptistery and then we found our way through some stores. And of course I spent all my money. Is there any need to ask? Afterwards we found the gallery with Michelangelo's David. He is HUGE! I know your wondering why is there no picture! But.. no photography :/ Sorry! To end our day, after eating delicious pasta of course, we hopped on a rickety bus and made our way to St.Marks English Church to see the Opera "Carmen". It was really cool to see an Opera in Italy. It was a wonderful experience and the singing was amazing. The next day we roamed around the Florence market a bit and then continued our journey to Pisa. To actually see the Leaning Tower was awesome! You here about it and see it in books and to really see it was super exciting. ShayLee and I finished off our adventure with some DELICIOUS pizza! I Love Italy! Ciao!

Fall

The other day I went exploring around where I live. This is all within a 10 minute walk. I live in the most beautiful place right in the Italian Alps. I love Fall.
Can you believe this is where I live.. 


So beautiful.

Dweeb Alert.

Verona. Round 2.

Ok. First off I would just like to say I am so sorry I am such a stinky blogger. Second I would like to say. I love Verona! But don't get me wrong. I am still very anti love. Verona is so beautiful and it is so fun. It is filled with fun window shopping (I call it window shopping because I can't purchase anything from Gucci etc.), good food, and it is picturesque Italian. All perfect ingredients for a good trip. But what made this trip even better is because I went with some great girl friends! They are so amazing. It was a grand adventure riding the train and finding our way around in this little foreign city. This time to Verona I was able to go to the Colosseum. This Colosseum is the second largest in Italy (I believe) and the most intact. We then continued our way through the main Piazzas until we reached Juliets house. And you better believe I rubbed her boob again. I want all the luck I can get!!! :D This time I even left my mark on Juliets walls. It was such a fun trip! I had a wonderful time :)
