Days 11 and 12: Pisa, Florence and Rome
I combined yesterday and today because, well, quite frankly we were too drunk last night for me to post. I'd say "Sorry Mom," but she was the drunkest of us! :) So yesterday, Tom, Dad, Mom, Carleigh and I hopped a train out to Pisa, because Mom and CJ hadn't seen the leaning tower yet, and the rest of us loved the town and really wanted to go back. Pisa, by the way, is so adorable. The town itself is small but so very Italian with its little ...
School Day: Time for some homework

My final was okay.... It was a final I'm not sure what else I can say about it... Saying goodbye to Daniele was rough... That teacher was definitely interesting and fun. After my final my roommate Lauren and I walked ...
A New Appreciation for Michelangelo
Before its doors opened we queued in line to visit to The David at the Galleria dell' Accadamie. Wow wow wow. When Lisa turned the corner she literally took a step back. We spent a good couple of minutes around the sculpture just appreciating. In the foyer in front of the exit there is a big photograph of people’s reaction to the giant (I can just imagine how big Goliath must have been.) In the photo most people are ...
