Monterosso beach Monterosso beach Monterosso beach

I see the ocean is really blue and has a big rock in the middle of it, and umbrellas everywhere on the beach. I learned that typically small, stony and crowded Italian Riviera beach, with pay umbrellas, though pleasant nonetheless and an excellent starting point for a classic Cinque Terre walk.
I will be going for 2 weeks in mid july. Prior to this trip I have to make sure I get all the shots i need to get to be able to go to Italy. I have a passport to be able to go across the country. I would need a visa card to go over to italy, and it costs $150.00 - $225.00 USD per day. From visiting italy I want to learn how they speak there, what kinda food they eat and how it all works there like what kind of cars do they drive, which side do they drive on, what sort of clothes do they wear. I want to make sure I see the beautiful scenery there, and visit the museums too. The activities I want to do would be to take a night ride on the #1 vaporetto(boat) in venice,Get a guided tour of the Vatican Museums, eat pizza in Naples, Sunbathe on Sardinia(beach),See an opera in Verona,eat two scoops of gelato daily, get lost in venice, and Walk in Caesar’s footsteps in Rome. I need to pack Basic Tank Tops,Basic T-Shirts,Nice Blouses — <em style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-size:

In this picture I see a dark stream of water that looks calm, its dark, dark blue sky, little building with lights shining on the water. I learned that it has strait alleys and wide canals, bridges and islands, fish markets and palaces, oozing an atmosphere comparable to no other place.

I see its a building that got torn down, has a bunch of windows on the outside and it looks like it had 3 floors. I learned that this was the largest structure in the ancient Rome. It is an iconic symbol that exudes the glory of Imperial Rome.

I see a huge stadium full of people to see an opera sing and its really bright on the stage and has many seats for people to come see. I learned that this the arena is a two-thousand-year-old stadium that seats 15,000. Yet the opera was performed without the aid of a modern sound system. No microphones, no speakers, no megaphones, no pre-recorded music, etc
