Random Thoughts

 Europe » Italy » Tuscany » Florence
People here aren’t in as big of a hurry and they don’t get out of your way if you are. People don’t mind if they hit you with their umbrella. So far everyone loves that I’m American…they want me to spend my money. Or they want to sing songs with me about California. People are open about their dislike for the French: My tour guide was mad at them for stealing art during the Napoleonic wars, my German tour guide/professor made a comment about “psh…french people” People park on the sidewalk…therefore defeating the purpose of [View Full Entry]

VENICE!!

 Europe » Italy » Veneto » Venice
Venice is AMAZING. That's what I have to say about it. AMAZING. I want to go back considering I only had one full day there and our insane tour guide literally ran us all over town the entire day. She was walking so fast she was loosing members of our group left and right. When I asked her to slow down she nearly had a heart attack and went off on me telling me I didn't have to come along if I didn't want to. Then she'd take us somewhere, not tell us what we were looking at, and then proceed [View Full Entry]

Learning

 Europe » Italy » Tuscany » Siena
I can’t believe it’s only been a week since I’ve gotten here. I have done so much it feels like I’ve been here for months already. I think I finally know my way around these winding streets. For awhile there I was getting lost nearly every day. Put me on a street I’ve walked a million times and all I have to do is blink before I’m lost again. I’ve seen nearly every corner of this town that way though, and taken some awesome pictures. I want to upload all 300 some pictures I’ve taken since coming here but the internet [View Full Entry]

Finally...

 Europe » Italy » Tuscany » Siena
I made it! I got to Rome after 3 flights, a five hour layover at JFK in New York and getting lost in the Paris airport. Crazy French people. It was about 24 hours of traveling all together and it all but killed me. I got to the airport in Rome and threw up. I felt dizzy, and hot, and nauseous, and miserable. And then of course my baggage was lost. Luckly only one bag though so I have some things. The bus took me and the girl on my flight (who also goes to WSU) to our hotel in Rome. [View Full Entry]

As it stands now, I will not be leaving for Rome on Tuesday as was planned. We were supposed to fly into Rome for a 3 day excursion before heading off to Siena for 3 weeks (and then to Florence for the rest of the semester). The San Fransisco consulate still hasn't finished processing my student visa. My dad half jokingly suggested we just drive there and get it to sidestep it being sent to the program headquarters in Connecticut before being mailed to me. Too bad that probably wont work...I've always wanted to go to San Fran. Plus it would [View Full Entry]
