Helloooo.
So I can't possibly fit all of the crazy adventures of the last 6 days in one short post here...but I just gotta say that traveling around Northern Italy with Abby has been sensational.
Days of 75 degree weather with the sun beating down on us as we people-watched in piazza after piazza...dined in restaurants serving authentic Italian home-made pastas and cakes...climbed towers and took photos of the wondrous views at the tops of said towers...trekked aimlessly with heavy bags for miles...communicated in Italian when necessary, when lost and encountering people who didn't know English...spent the night at one shady hostel off a courtyard in Milan, an apartment in a gated community in a town 20 min. outside of Verona, a traditional hostel that felt like a camp, and finally are now at a grand hotel (that somehow cost the same as the others but has a palacial feel, free internet, marble adornments, buffet breakfast, and automatic light settings in our room....) giving us quite the travel experience overall. Lots of diversity of experiences, many different encounters with lots of random people...and throughout all of this, great bonding time with Abby! Quite the splendid trip.
Tomorrow I head back to Rome...
Lauren comes Friday!!
My parents come on Saturday.
Whew.
SOOO excited to see them, but sad for the adventure to be over. It's nice, though, to know that we really planned this on our own and we can survive on our own. Yay!
:) Night night.
