This morning we got up a bit earlier than we had been as we had to be on the bus by 7:30am. Rome traffic can be something of a zoo. Not to mention I can’t even imagine trying to drive in it, but we had an 8:30am appointment at the Vatican, so we didn’t want […]

I woke up a bit early today, so going to try and catch up with the blog post about yesterday that I missed. We got up a bit later which was nice for the extra sleep. After breakfast (I’m really missing an American type breakfast at this point!), we boarded the bus and headed to […]

Today we got up at a decent time, ate breakfast in Florence, and then headed to the bus. A good part of our day today was bus riding. Something my stomach has not enjoyed, but nevertheless we had to get to Rome! It is about 6 hours from Florence to Rome, but we stopped halfway […]

Well, I had so much fun exploring and learning about China, that when I heard that this summer C.L.A.S.S. was sponsoring a tour to Italy, I had to sign up. A few of people that went to China are also heading to Italy, so it is like catching up with friends, too. This time around, […]
