See what I'm up to in Spain!: That's how you do Italy in 7 days...

There is so much to write about that I can't even figure out where to start...

We traveled first to Rome, where we spent 3 days. In Rome, we saw:
Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Colosseum, Roman Forums, Circus Maximus, Tiber River, Vatican City (St. Peter's Basilica, Raphael's 'School of Athens' paniting, etc.), Pantheon, The Church of St. Peter in Chains with Michelangelo's 'Moses' statue, and more! Also, we experienced an earthquake! The quake happened in a town about 60 miles north of Rome, but we felt the tremors all the way in Rome, it was nuts! No one in Rome was seriously injured, but many in L'Aquila died. Very sad.

We caught a train to Florence, and stayed there for two days. Florence was my favorite city of them all, I think, because it was smaller, yet still large enough to not get bored, and it was incredibly beautiful. Check out the views from Michelangelo's Piazza below! In Florence, we saw: The Duomo, Accademia Gallery with Michelangelo's David (awesome), the Uffizi, Michelangelo's Piazza, and more. My favorite city, definitely.

We bussed to Pisa the next day, and that was pretty cool! There is nothing there except for a pretty courtyard with a church, baptistery, and the leaning tower, but the grass was really green and of course the tower was fun to take pictures with!

We ended our week long escapade in Venice for a day. Venice was beautiful, a little smelly (because of the canals), and very tiring to walk through with luggage (so many little bridges, up and down)! But, the coolest experience in all of Italy happened there, and that was the gondola ride. It was cliche, yes, and it was a tad bit expensive. But it was awesome. So relaxing, so peaceful, and such beautiful views. Truly amazing!

So now I'm back here in Seville, and I have only two more weeks of school. I will update again soon this week, so until then, check out the great photos below.
