Today was the Grand Tour in Rome. We first visited the keats and shelley museum which is the house in Rome that Keats came to stay when he was trying to get better and survive the disease TB which his entire family had mostly died from in previous years. It was also the place of death for him at the young age of 25. After we left that museum we then traveled to the cemetary where Keats and Shelley are both burried side by side. It was interesting to see his grav...

Today was our first day back in classess for the week. It was definately good to be back in a routine with classes but for some reason it was like we didn't get to ease back into things at all. On our first day back from our 10 day break we were in classes all day long from 9 am to 5pm with no more than an hour for lunch and a break. It was nice because the classes were interesting but we just hate being in classes that long.

Today was a pretty short day for blogging but an extremely long day for traveling back to Ariccia. We took a short train from Corniglia to La Spezia but then we had to sit and wait for our 4 hour train ride from La Spezia to Rome. It was way to long to sit in the same seat. Once we made it to Rome we met up with a few of the other girls to head back to Ariccia. It was so nice to get back to our "home" after such a long week of traveling.

Today was our one day we had planned to spend in Cinque Terra. It was absolutely beautiful.

We stared out by taking the train to the first town (Riomajore) we walked around the small town and then walked the "walkway of love which is connected to the Beatles Abby Road. Once we make it to the second town Monterrosa we walked around...

Today we left Florence and traveled through Pisa and then on to our final destination of Cinque Terra. Once we were in Pisa we looked around at the leaning tower and then waited around for our segway tour to begin. Once we started our tour around Pisa we had so much fun. It was interesting to see more of Pisa than just the tiny square that is the home of the leaning tower. Once we finished our segway tour we then headed back to the train station and continued o...
