Well this weekend was amazing. Saturday we went to Venice and it was great. We had the chance to ride a Gondola and tour the city. We were very lucky to have Nicks Italian roommate with us which was a great help! We were able to go up a bell tower and take some of the most amazing pictures. We were also able to walk around the church. It was so big and the graphics were just amazing. On sunday we went to Florence and Pisa. In Florence or should i say "The Work Out City," we climbed a huge hill and many steps just to see the replica of the Statue of David. But the view and the statue were totally worth it. After that we had the most amazing lunch and steak. Next on the trip came Pisa. We only had 2 hours to make the train so we walked to the tower of Pisa took a bunch of photos some of us actually went up the tower while the others watched. It was then we realized we had about 30 minutes to catch the train and had a 25 minute walk ahead of us. All off a sudden the town of Pisa was like a marathon. 7 Americans sprinting and yelling for people to get out of our way. It was a work out! I haven't ran like that in years. Half of us were running barefoot while the other half kept stopping to catch their breath. It looked like a scene out of a movie. But, WE MADE IT with 3 minutes to spare. It was on that four hour train ride where things went crazy. People should never talk to Americans who have just ran 25 minutes to catch a train, who were all sweaty, who haven't eaten or drank anything in 8 hours and on the verge of going crazy on one another. But overall it was the best weekend ever and we can't wait to do it again next weekend in Rome. Bye for now, miss everyone at home!

This is the perfect summary of our day! I never laughed so hard in my life after reading this. It just wasn't as funny then.
