One of the best things about living anywhere in Europe is how easy it is to travel. You can get a cheap flight or train ride for a day trip or even a weekend trip. A few weekends ago a group of us girls decided to head to Pisa for the day. And of course we had to do the touristy Leaning Tower of Pisa pictures...
The past two weeks my Mom and Mike came to visit me- I think I gained 10 pounds while they were here because of all the amazing food we had! We went to Venice for a weekend. It is definitely a lot different than Florence. You have to take water taxi's everywhere or walk; lets just say cars are a foreign concept over there. All the people who live there own a small boat and have garages for them. The buildings are literally built right on the water, most don't even have walk ways in between. It was very pretty though. Crazy to think that it is slowly sinking year by year and soon will be like Atlantis. Despite it raining every day, we had a fun time just wondering around and getting lost. We ate at a place called Harry's where they invented the bellini which is sparkling wine and peach juice. If you are ever in Venice you'll have to go there or at least get the drink somewhere. We also had the best pizza ever! Now you can't forget dessert now can you? Had tiramisu for the first time, delicious! So, in the end, we pretty much ate our way through Venice and then continued it back to Florence. Had the best steak ever in Florence at Aqua al 2. It was covered in blueberry sauce and blueberries.
Overall, it was wonderful to see them and so glad they got to come visit!! Can't wait to see everyone in December! Love you and miss you all! XOXOX
P.S. 47 more days till I make my way back across the Atlantic
