Days 11 and 12: Pisa, Florence and Rome
... those jackasses are everywhere. We kept walking and decided we had to get back to the train station to make our train. Two minutes later, Carleigh sees something shiny on the ground. Yep. A Euro dime. Every one of us got chills to the bone, and it took a while for mom to catch control. Love you Grandpa, glad you could join us in Miracle Square. Once we got back to the apartment, CJ had to do school work and I was feeling like relaxing with ...
Day 10: Florence

Ok, after that interesting lesson, I got in line to hike to the top of the Duomo, the dome of Saint Maria's Church in the center of town. It was started in 1420 and finished in 1436 by Michelangelo of course! There are 441 very narrow steps to climb in ...
Bon Appetit!
... was in the glass elevator with Mr. Wonka himself overlooking the city. The scenery was just so pretty. The red-topped roofs spread for miles and the mountains and hills surrounding the city were just mesmerizing. I am so glad I decided to do it.
Therefore, after climbing ALL of those stairs, I decided to reward myself by visiting the best gelateria in Florence. And it was PERFECT. It was like heaven in my mouth. So ...
