Today was by far the most beautiful and warm day we’ve had yet! We awoke early and after eating another great breakfast, we jumped on the bus for our ride back into the city. Our first stop was the Coliseum. We had an amazing guide who walked us through the crumbling remains of the travertine [...]
Today we woke knowing that it was going to be a very busy and exciting day since it’s the last day of our trip. We woke up with the sound of the alarm clock going off everywhere and soon we were down in breakfast. The breakfast was very different from all the other breakfasts that [...]
Today we had our earliest morning yet because we had a lot of ground to cover. We boarded the bus just before 8am, headed for Assisi. As we arrived, the sun came out, finally! What an incredible little medieval city – best known for St. Francis and St. Clare. Sadly, we only had enough time [...]
Today was a non stop workout, right after breakfast we went out and about in Florence for a walking tour with Nicilo (a temporary tour guide). During the tour he gave us an explanation of the statues in one of the main squares and went to the river to snap a few pictures. At the [...]
Today has been the best part of the trip so far in my opinion. First of all it has the BEST food I have ever tasted especially the ice cream that I became addicted to. Other than the food the sight seeing was breath taking and overwhelming. We woke up very tired from the night [...]

However, Jenn, Spencer, Liz, Kate, and Gail (a teacher from the Pennsylvania group) and I decided to catch the sunrise over the Mediterranean Sea. After breakfast we took a quick walk to the shoreline in Nice. It was amazing! The rain had stopped, and even [...]
So we started off the morning with the normal breakfast of bread and croissant. Then Jenn, Jen, Kate, Spencer, and I decided to take pictures on the beach while it was nice out. When we were at the beach we decided to try to touch the water. This wasn’t the best idea for us. When [...]
We got on the road early this morning, with our first stop at Avignon. The sun finally came out as we toured the Palais des Papes (Palace of the Popes) where seven Popes served during the 14th and 15th centuries. The palace was incredible, and we even climbed to the top of the wall for [...]
We woke early for a long bus ride had a good breakfast with the usual croissant and bread which I always love. We then got on a long bus ride to Avignon. The first impression of it was amazing with the towering entrance and the golden Virgin Mary on top. We then went into the [...]
