Easter in Italy

---

Bonjour!

Friday morning I left for Florence, Italy to visit my mom and sister who were touring in Italy for two weeks with my sister's high school. It was about a 12 hour train ride with stops in Valence, Chambery, and Milan. When I finally did arrive, my mom and Mrs. Guest were there to greet me and it was nice to see my mom.

I stayed with the group while they were in Montecantini Terme and we visited Florence, Siena on Easter, Pisa and Lucca. It was lots of fun and we had some laughs. I ate some of the BEST pizza i think i've ever had and i of course had some gelato,(i think one everyday). I saw the little sister and she was quite happy to see me. I brought her favorite perfume and a strawberry tart straight from france and she liked that. She had bought me a bracelet from Venice with real venetian glass so dad, that was a lovingly sister moment, don't you think? lol. Florence was a very nice city and I enjoyed all the concerts. I went to to help cheer on the Boyertown concert choir, orchestra, and band. They sounded very good; i was quite impressed. We had Easter mass in a cathedral in Siena and spent the afternoon shopping there. My coolest souvenir from Italy would have to be the Pinnochio Poster i bought at this little shop and met the artist who drew a littel Pinnochio design playing the piano on the poster and signed it...my mom bought it as a birthday present. Yeah! Monday we went to Pisa and I saw the leaning tower of Pisa! lol. I took some funny pictures in front of it so ill have to send some home. Tuesday I headed back to Montpellier and took all day cause I had to change trains like 5 times. It was a fun weekend and I love Italy. My mom and Mrs. Guest were so funny and I enjoyed being with them for the weekend...

Voila, a little summmary of what ive been up to lately!

A bientot, and today its 5 days till my 20th birthday...yeah!

ciao, kristen
