Vespas and the Discoveries made on them

... Canaan took charge with the map and lead us to the hostel. We checked in and went up stairs and hallways that were written on (it was very neat to read who has been there and where they are from) and settled into our room, with FREE INTERNET! We lounged around a little, took turns on the internet and little naps. Once we were all up and ready to go, we headed out to find Accademia. Jen's mom had told us to try to go later in the afternoon because ...
