Italia

Welp, I am finally home. "College Home" I mean. 
Whenever I call Provo home, my Mom always corrects me.
To tell you the truth, I could sit and talk all about my interesting little adventure in Italy, but for some odd
reason I don't really want to.
There was a lot of walking, sight-seeing (honestly the buildings in Rome were jaw-dropping), frustration, excitement, and the whole sha-bang. 
We ran into a little bad luck the second half of the trip, as in we were robbed and I got in a Scooter accident, 
but hey what doesn't kill you makes you stronger... right?
Usually the weather was pretty nice but a lot of the time it rained.
It really is an amazing country, I don't know if I will ever return to anywhere I went because if I were to
go out of the country again, I would want to see new places and have new experiences.
I don't have any of the pictures- Rach was obviously in charge of picture taking, naturally.
So when she lets me know- maybe I'll post some pictures. All I have for now are a couple Iphone pics.
Not very many because my phone starting going haywire halfway through the trip, so sorry.
But I definitely have a stronger love for America and the food it offers.
Not that Italy's pizza, pasta, and scones aren't absolutely amazing. It's just all they have to offer.
I don't know how Rach survived off all those carbs for just 5 months.
I've come to realize how much I like and appreciate diversity.
So here is to my super summarized story of my vacation.
Least favorite place: umm... probably Naples. Although, I did eat the best pizza I've ever had there. It was the pizza from the movie "Eat, Pray, Love". It truly was something to drool over.
Favorite place: I love Rome because of all the incredible buildings, and I loved Sorento (we had a lot of sun there which makes a huge difference), 
but I also loved Cinque Terre, it's just that it was cloudy the whole time.
I probably spelled one of the cities wrong- sorry if I did.
I'm glad I had my sisters there with me. Sometimes I think we took a little bit of our travelling frustration out on one another but at the same time I came to realize how lucky I am to have them in my life.
 Man- those flights really are so deadfully longggggggg
Rome:
 Leave it to Paige to skillfully and successfully sneak into a cemetery. The pictures she took while inside made me wish I would've sneaked in also
Almafi Coast & Sorento:
 Tuscany:
 Can I just say that Italian soda is so pretty, but it tastes so disgusting.

This is as far as I got until my phone starting "disagreeing" with me.
Wish I could tel all of the details- but my mind is still jet-lagged and I don't seem to have the energy.
Really was an experience and trip to remember.
