Amazing trip
December 17, 2008
Well, I can truly say whoever invented gelato is my hero. I believe that is the main thing I miss about Italy. The second thing on my list is Susan’s comedic performances. Go in to stand-up comedy! When you do, please remember all of the poor college students who encouraged you.
I have so many thoughts about the trip it’s hard to condense them. Each city we visited had something special about them. This is what made them unique in their own way. However, Cortona and Assisi were my favorite places we visited. During the free day in Cortona “the group of 7” went on an adventure. We were going to climb to the top of the hill. Once we got to the top the view went on forever. I was really surprised that you could see the lake that was near by. Being able to explore the fort in Assisi was the same. The views were breathtaking. Both days made me feel like a child on some magical adventure.
When we were in Rome we went to Vatican City. Being able to watch the Christmas tree being lit was a once in a life time experience. The Vatican museum was my favorite as well. I would have never guessed that they could have accumulated such a variety of items. Sometimes I forget they have been around for a long time. I was impressed with how well preserved the Egyptian mummies were.
If it had not been for Amanda I might not have gone on the trip. So thanks Amanda for telling me about it. I’m very glad that I had the opportunity to. I had an amazing time. I’m thankful for meeting a wonderful group of people.
