When in Rome...Florence and Venice

Italy was just what I imagined! I loved it there. We started our trip in Rome and saw all the main sights; the coliseum, forum, pantheon etc. My favorite was the palantine hill, it had ruins of palaces built centuries ago. Our tour guide was from Portland too, how crazy is that? Next we went to Florence. It was raining there, but I'm used to it. Everyone loved the leather market
and spent a little too much money. After Florence we headed off to Venice which is my personal favorite. I have never been to a place like it before. The first day Sarah and I came upon a bunch of pigeons and played with them, then we saw Christiana! How crazy is that! The second day my friends Kate, Asia, Liz, Randee, Emily and I all went shopping and took a gondola tour down the Grand Canal. It was so relaxing. Then we had dinner on the water, it was a fantastic day. Traveling all around Italy in a week is so tiring! this trip is wearing me out, but in the best way possible:) I love it here but I really do miss being home. I still have Naples and Athens to look forward to! Until next time.

Every one feel really bad for my sister Brooke, she is suffering because she is so tired from trapsing all across Italy. Poor thing, okay, raise your hand if you feel bad for her? Anyone? Any hands? Bueller? Yeah, didn't think so.
