Milan




For the past few days we have been in Milan. We departed Rovereto and traveled by bus to Milan. We are still having a great time, and even went to the opera last night. Tomorrow we will go again by bus to the Cinque Terra for three days. After this we will fly home. I recently posted more pictures on Facebook, so please check them out.

Venice and on




I would just like to tell everybody sorry for not updating the blog for a while. Most of the hotels that we have been at don't have internet, so I may not be able to update it for a while.
We traveled by bus to Venice, where we stayed for 2 days. We had a great time there, and it was my favorite so far. Today we left Venice and traveled again by bus to Rovereto. We are staying here for 2 nights. These are some pictures of some of the stuff that we have packed into our few days in Venice and other places. Hope you are all doing well back home. ellie

Last Week in Florence




This marks our last week in Florence. We are still having a great time, and look forward to move on to Venice and Milan. Today we went to San Miniato Monestary and the Santa Croce which is a few blocks from our apartment. This is where Dante and Michelangelo were buried. We also hiked up the huge hill to piazza Michelangelo and saw some really cool grave sites. This piazza also has one of the greatest views of Florence.

Back to Sienna





Yesterday we rode a bus back to Sienna. We went into a few museums, took a lot of pictures, and saw the interior of the duomo. We stayed up there for the entire day and had a lot of fun. These pictures are from Sienna and other places we have been.

Florence, Italy



We have been having regular classes now, and have enjoyed every minute of being in Florence. Here are some photos of Florence and past adventures. I am sorry that I have not been updating this blog as quickly as I used to, once we get back on the road it should be a little faster. -ellie-

Pisa, Lucca, San Gimigimiano, Sienna, Volteria, Florence, and too many other places.







On Friday we rented a car with Blair and Mandy and zipped around Tuscany to all of these little towns. We took these day trips over the two days that we had away from the students and classes. Today, we went to the small LDS branch for church. Our student group overwhelmed the entire branch, so we ended up going to class while we waited for the first group of students had sacrament meeting. Of course, we understood very little of what was said, but we still had a good time, I almost nodded of in Sunday School. We are still having a great time, and hope you are all doing well. Buona sera?
