After much scheming my sister Barbara and I figured out a way to spend a little over a week in Italy. Her daughter Harley was in Prague doing a study abroad program and Barbara was going to get her. One thing led to another and we decided to meet in Rome.
Gabi, Rachel and I met Barbara and Harley and spent 3 days in Rome, 3 days in Florence, and 2 days in Venice with a day trip to Pisa. It was amazing! We had so much fun and surprisingly no problems at all. All the food was excellent, especially the Fettuccini Alfredo Originale in Rome (worth the forune we paid for it) and the Gelato (at least once daily). Our favorite city was Florence, although Venice was charming and Rome had all the famous sites. Rachel had to go back early to get to school and missed Venice.
We decided that Barbara and Harley are the perfect traveling companions. We all liked to walk our legs off, take a cab when needed, eat chocolate crossants on trains, laugh ourselves silly, and climb how many steps?? to the top of bell towers. Oh, and don't forget our mutual hatred for pigeons in town plazzas and our lack of fear of drinking water from public fountains.
TIP... Don't be tempted to share a head set at the uffizi museum.
