Italia!

So just a quick update post from Rome!

Last week, I spent it on vacation in France with my family. It was the best week of my life. We did Paris, the Chateaux of the Loire Valley, Provence and the French Riviera (including Monaco).

The left from Nice :( but I continued to Milan for the day. The Duomo was exceptional but Milan was not. It was nice, but I didn't love it.

Then we went over to Venice. One of the most spectacular and unique cities in Europe, for sure. It was so nice to see Scott- I hadn't seen him since January! Meg, Alli and Kelly (Meg's Roommate) were in Venice for the day and we saw some great things. I'll elaborate more when back in Paris.

After Venice, we took the train to Florence. Another cool city. The markets were fun, and the Duomo was beautiful. Tuscany is such an incredible place. Check back for pictures!

I am now in Rome and it is so great. It is so ancient and modern at the same time. I love it. Italy is such a great place, but I could never live here. They have a work ethic that can only be described as Italian. God forbid you need change of a twenty or you want to pay with your credit card!

Oh Italians, flashy as they may be, make me feel good about myself when I am wearing my sunglasses indoors! Haha.

Gotta run though
Miss you all and I will update you more when I get back to Paris, this Sunday night (Pictures, and more details)

Ciao!
