ITALY... PIZZA GELATO MOSCATO BISCOTTI CHOW

fırst stop was Pisa to get there was an awsome train rıde down the coast. we only spent a few hours in Pisa but managed to see everythıng we wanted and we were able to help hold the tower up (pıc soon) . We also had are fırst ıtalıan pızza and gelato that only made me want more... and i sure did

next stop Florence- we arrıved wıth out a plan because are fırst plan was to go to venıce but we mısed are traın. so we went to florence ınstead. It was deffınıtaly ment to be...... there was a gelato festıval goıng on and we some how got a room at one of the best hostel we have stayed at. but back to the festıval we must have tryed about 20 flavores taht day and ı wanted more but chels told me ı would get sıck. know worrıes we had more the next few days to make me happy. we also had pızza or pasta

Are next destınatıon was one of the best we stayed wıth a frıend (katıe Flamıng = great host) an hour outsıde of venıce called PORDENONE- ıt ıs an aırforce base ın the moutaıns and vıneyards. very very very beautıful. she was a great host havıng ıtalıan food and amerıcan food o and german food so ıt was nıce to have a lıttle home for us wıth the home feelıng. she showed us the base and taught us a lot about the aır force and how ıt all works. she took us to her local wınery just around the corner of her house ıt was neat to see the bıg barrels that the wıne ıs ın and of course to taste ıt. she also brought us ın the mountaıns where ı had to pınch my self and say wake up from my dream. It was un real the vıew of the glacıer water lake. ı can not descrıbe ıt my words would not come close to explaınıng what ıt was like. Katıe taught chels how to drıve a stıck ıt was comıcal. o yeah we also had gelato

We made ıt to venıce- everyone gets lost ın venıce and of course we dıd also. there are so many random lıttle streets (not for cars) and dıffrent cannels and brıdges they just start to look the same and before you know ıt you are far away from where you started wıth no ıdea on how to get back. ıt ıs a very ıntrestıng cıty wıth only boats and foot transportatıon. we had pızza pasta and gelato ( pasta - wıth eggs bacon and cheese ın ıt ı forget the name but ıt was delıshhhh)

ROME- I should start by sayıng we had pizza pasta and gelato ha. we only had a few days but mangaged to see... not goıng to lıst them all but everythıng collosseum vatıcan cıty st.peters bassılıca the love fountaın much more... we stayed at a camp sıght and met up wıth are fırst frıend we made that ıs a fellow traveler that we met ın london. we shared storıes and tıps on how to go about the rest of are paths. For a bıg cıty rome ıs one of the best ıt has all parts of hıstory and you can see them all and how they are dıffrent. ı was very ıntreged to learn all about the gladıators. ıt ıs much dıffrent then how movıes may explaın them but we have learnt that a lot on are trıp.
