Standby Spring Break

Day 3

Today we ventured out to see the leaning tower of piza and explored the city of Florence. Gelato is heaven. For the first time it was a problem that I'm 18, 17 and under got in the museum for free and I tried to pretend I was 17.... I did not succeed, the Italian man helping me was having none of it. It all turned out ok because the art was gorgeous. Keaton and I recreated some of our favs. Below is KEAT telling me (virgin Mary) I'm pregnant.

Alec tried to be our photographer... This is what happened.

Cristiana showed interesting in not metaphorically cuddling. We were all shocked. We then ate in the priority lounge of the hotel and hit the jacuzzi.

Ciao,

Day 3: Pisa and Florence

Monday, March 28th, 2016

Today we went to Pisa. And it just took us an unreasonably long amount of time to find the tower. (We forgot our GPS at home). But found it we did. And we took a lot of cliché classic Leaning Tower of Pisa pics.

Then we set off for Florence. It was a rather long 3 hour drive, but we all read, which you know, I enjoyed. In Florence, we hit the Duomo-

Followed quickly by our first gelato of the trip. A serious crime, if you ask me... We should have been on at least gelato #14 if we had kept to my schedule. 6 gelatos a day. But we fell drastically behind schedule, to my chagrin.

Then we hit up the Ufizzi (did I spell that right? Idk I apologize if I didn't) and saw the Botticelli's and DaVinci's.

And we hit up Ponte Veccio.

Then it was back to the hotel for dinner in the Exec. lounge and then to the whirlpool which wasn't hot but we stayed in there for like, an hour and a half. All in all, another good day.

Day 2

We visited France, Monaco, and Italy! We drove through the rolling hills of Italy and Monaco. We stopped at a beach in Nice, France and collected sea glass from the shore. We kept ourselves busy in the car by discussing deep hypothetical questions and talking about our childhood. Shout-out to Comfort and B-rad for raising Keaton, she was a handful. We arrived at 9 and got authentic Italian pizza. After surviving on snacks and being awake for over 30 hours, we devoured the pizza and foccacia. We arrived back at the hotel and finally got a long needed sleep. Italy is beautiful; I'm so happy to be here.

Day 2- 3 countries in 3 days

Sunday March 27, 2016

In some ways, yesterday was the most successful, and the most boring day of the trip. Most successful because we hit 3 countries- Italy, France and Mocaco! But most boring because we spent the whole day in the car. I personally, was very excited to send pictures of Keaton and I in France and Monaco to our French teacher, Mme. Caster.
