reminiscing italia

i'm feeling better today.  still am coughing some and still have some congestion, but i'm much better than i was!  thank goodness!  ok, time to reminisce...

the year was 2008. the month was march.  katie was studying abroad in florence, italy.  so julius and i decided we would go visit her during spring break. wow! it was a blast!! italy is amazing.. here are some pictures to prove it :)

2nd day in italy. we spent the day in sienna, and it rained all day. so when we got back to florence, we decided to go out.. what better to do after a day of rainy sightseeing.  we ended up going to one of the most awesome bars/pubs ever.


so.. at this awesome pub, we got pretty drunk. ok, really drunk.  as we were walking back to the hotel, i decided that i wanted to skip on the cobble stone... umm, skipping on wet cobble stone = me falling

the duomo in sienna
(duomo is the italian term for 'cathedral church')

our trip to italy was so much fun!  it was definitely a learning experience.  now, we can check 'italy' off the list!  where to go next in europe??  france, spain, netherlands.... hmm, good thing no decision needs to be made in the near future :)
