Weekend #2: Tivoli

---

Another day has come and gone. Today, a group of us went to Tivoli, Italy for a day trip. We were able to sleep in for a little bit, but we boarded a train for an hour, then we arrived in Tivoli. On the train, we met another American from Michigan, who was traveling alone, so we told her to tag along with us for the day!

First, we went to Villa Gregoriana. There was a hike around the property, and we saw some beautiful waterfalls, caves, and a temple. The hike took probably an 1 1/2 hours and there were many, many stairs! i chose the wrong day to wear a dress and converse.

Then, we got lunch at Reginella. On the way through the city, there was a market and a wedding. I got a roast beef panini with grilled vegetables in it ... and it was AMAZING!

We headed to Villa d'Este after we ate. This Villa is a place that the Lizzie McGuire Movie filmed for a scene. This place was BEAUTIFUL!! When I read up on the Villa, it does not do the garden justice. The gardens were endless and the fountains were massive!

Sadly, the day had to come to an end, but 8 hours was plenty of time to explore! We got some pizza for dinner and relaxing for the night because we are going to see the Pope tomorrow!!!

What a great combination!
You've discovered the perfect combination in Tivoli - fresh air, fountains, friends, and food! I'm anxious to hear more about the history too.
