Heyyoo

Same as the last post, this was a little outdated - oh well...

After visiting Milan (which I wouldn't recommened to anyone for longer then an hour), Venice (which I am going back with my husband someday for a gondala ride), Florence (which was beautiful...including David - Big David :)), and Rome...I can say that I am NOT a museum/Church fan...Well, let me take that back. One or two would be awesome....(I highly suggest the Vatican Museum and St. Pauls in Rome)...but after the 6th, 7th, 8th...not so cool anymore. Which is why the next place I want to visit is South America - sounds scary - I know! But visiting with people we have traveled with it sounds awesome!

A kid from Aussie that we met in Florence stayed hostels that were in caves and tree houses - how cool does that sound. He also went to a butterfly forest and did so many other cool things which are more up my alley since we all know History isn't my strong subject. :)

Out of all the places we went Rome was probably one of my favorites because of the colosseum. I didn't even really know what it was before I went sadly - but it was one of those places that gave you goose bumps. Another reason I really enjoyed Rome was because of the Catacombs. I am not really sure the story behind them. You will have to look them up. Something with everyone wanting to be buried by these two Christian men. Because of this they built a 11 mile city like thing underground with nothing but graves. They would dig out wholes in the wall and just lay the bodies in. Probably one of the most creepy but cool at the same time. I wish I had a picture but none were allowed. And I guess the Sistine Chapel was okay - just kidding. It was cool, especially the Last Judgement.

All for now....
