im getting really behind :( sorry!
all the dates/weekends have begun to mush together in my head.
so here is a mashup! of siena, climbing the florence duomo, and a visit from mama chu and the auntie

jerseys anyone?

the details on the church were amazing


a zebra church!

we climbed up to the top of the tower
the bell rang while we were at the top :( bad timing

the piazza! with all the little people!

you would think it would get old:
climbing to the top of every tower in every city and looking at all the rooftops and the hillside.
the climbs are always worth it

me and bri-guy on top of the tower

eating lunch
ciangale pasta = wild boar
it was quite yummy

BACK TO FLORENCE

climbed the duomo. it was a really tight squeeze getting up there
but yeah. it was really awesome

clearly, james and i hated the view.

BACK TO ROME

went back to rome one weekend to meet up with my momma and my aunt
it was so good to see them! our trip with smilja has trained me to be a tour guide for them

hello family :)

it's not the best picture of my madre and me,
but the arch of constantine sure looks good

at the park of ruins

while wandering around rome by myself (it was WONDERFUL)
stumbled upon the HUGE baths of caracalla

don't want to "overload" the internet
UNTIL NEXT TIME
