Italia

Italia is wonderful.  I just loved it!   Yes I’ve been back for a bit now and enjoyed my time in Italy.  After Firenze I traveled with some friends to Lucca which is a nice walled city near Pisa.  That was a fun roadtrip.  They ended up dropping me off to my Zia’s for the 5 days. 

At my Zia’s in Arcole, she was really nice and welcoming.  I really enjoyed my relaxing time there and was surprised how much more we could communicate then last time.  I really must keep up my Italian!  It was a nice change to see the beauty of the Italian countryside.  It was too bad my phone didn’t really get any cell reception where I was staying.  I met up with my mom’s friends from Italy while there who are really nice. 

I met up with the daughter of my mom’s friend and went to Venezia together.  It was great speaking Italian/English and practicing on eachother.  I alway love Venezia, and it was nice going with a local to show me how it’s really done.  We had some nice pasteries, and pizza and enjoyed the time.  I bought some nice glass things and scarfs just like I always like to do.

Then I went to Verona for a daytrip by myself and had a great time as well.  I met this opera singer who would have got me free tickets if I was staying the night which I couldn’t.  It was surprising I could hold a 15min conversation with a stranger in Italian too.  Italians are so friendly!!  I was the 4 main churches in Verona & of course both Romeo & Gulietta’s house.  Many Amarana Granitas & Gelati’s were had.  

It was a wonderful time in Italy too bad it was soo short.
