Italianos

The last hurrah....Italy. We waited all year for it, and it was definately worth the wait. With Coop Cooper on board nothing could beat this trip.

We started off in Venice: The winding canals and the horrible street directions kept us intertained for a good 2 1/2 days. We managed to find the palace of Venice as well as some other interesting things and people. The weather was beautiful for our entire stay and we enjoyed a very relaxing city with water all around us.

We then traveled to Florence: This city offered us plenty of things to do, like walk huge park, see David, check out an amazing cathedral and get a great view and feel for the city. We also had a stellar hostal which added to the prestige of the city (in my book).

Ahh, when in Rome: Rome was straight up rediculous. The city was apsolutly ginormous. The thousands of years of history fascinated the whole gang as we metro'ed around the city to see the main atractions like: The Colosseum, Arc of Constantine, Pizza Navona (where they had chariot races), The Panthoen, Trevi Fountain, and the Vatican. Romes blend of ancient history and crazy moped traffic combined with the amazing weather made it one of the best places to be in Europe.
