LA MIA FAMIGLIA IN ITALIA!!!

Ciao!

The family was here!  It was sooo amazing!  It was so great to see them and show them Italy and where I live!  The first day we chilled in Milan, ate some pizza, walked around, and went to my favorite little Italian place on Porto Venezia.  It was great.  The second day in Milan we decided to go to Lake Como for lunch... yes I can say that.  It's a 45 minute train ride, so we went to Varenna and took the boat to Bellagio for lunch.  It's gorgeous, and the weather was perfect!  I'm so glad my family got to see how beautiful it is!!  It was really absolutely breath-taking.

Saturday we headed down to Firenze.  We LOVED our Hotel Monna Lisa and my family just absolutely adored the city.  It's so quaint, absolutely gorgeous, and who can complain since it's in beautiful Tuscany!!  We did the David, the Uffizi, the market, The Medici Chapel, Michael Angelo Piazza up on the hill, climbed Duomo, got a caricature, and at the most fabulous Italian food.  

On Monday we headed to Lucca and Pisa.  It was sooo fun!  We biked our Lucca's city wall, which is absolutely beautiful.  It was a gorgeous city, super mid evil with great views, we had a great time!!  Then we headed to Pisa which went rather smoothly besides Jenna and Dad getting off the train a stop early and having to walk 3 miles to Pisa Centrale.  Mom freaked out but in hindsight it was rather hilarious.  Anyway, we took our cliche pictures, ate at a great pizza place, and headed back to Firenze.

I sent my parents on their way to Rome as I headed back up to Naples to have a couple days of school and then head off to Amsterdam!!  It was really great to be with the family and I'm sooo glad I got to see them and experience Italy with them!!!!
