Florence...






We made it to Florence! This is only the second day and I absolutely love it here! It's a lot more laid back than Rome! Our apartment is right near the school, the river, and everything else you could possibly need. Its HUGE! We have 5 rooms that sleeps 2 people, so there are 10 of us in the apartment. We have a kitchen, dinning area, den, 4 bathrooms and 3 showers. Sleeping last night wasn't the best since Italians like to stay out all night and out bedroom window looks out over the street. It will have to be something to get use to.

Ciao From Rome

Sorry it has been so long, but Rome has kept us very busy and in return we have been very tired. Monday we went to the Vatican City and saw the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peters. We also ealked across a bridge that had angels on it that were sculpted by Michaelangelo and each one was holding a piece of the crusifixtion. Monday night we saw the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and Panthenon. We also had our fist taste of gelato. Yesterday, we did ancient Rome. We saw the Roman Forum, Palatine Hill, Capitol Hill, Peter and Pauls jail cell, and the colosseum. Last night we went to a piazza and had dinner and more gelta, which had nutella in it.Very delious. Sorry it there are any spelling mistakes, but the computer is it Italian and itsnt very helpful. We are leaving for Florence today, so hopefully I will be able to post pictures soon.

Foggy Day in London Town...

Well we made to London! Our flight doesn't leave for another 3 hours, so we have lots of time to kill. The flight over was long and with not much sleep. But thats ok because the sunrise was amazing. When we got over London we weren't able to see the city becuase of all the clouds. That was a real bummer, but we are looking foward to flight from here to Rome!!
Ciao!

Travel Update




Here are a few pictures from Guatemala. The boy I am with in the pictures is who I fell in love with 2 years ago and it was the biggest blessings to get to go back and see him. I loved being able to go back to a place that I had been before. I am looking forward to more visits to Casa and it possibly being a permanent place for me one day...in a year and a half (still praying about it). There is tons more stories to tell about my time there and not enough space to type it all.
It is now time for next adventure...ITALY! I can't begin to explain how excited I am. This has always been a dream of mine, so you can imagine yourself how it feels when a dream comes true! I have 9 days left and tons more to do, well at least that's how I feel. Robin and I have meet for hours and accomplish nothing, although when we meet its all work and little play! Next week is going to be packing week for sure!!! I hope to keep this updates as possible while I am there so that yall will know what I am up to. I can't wait to see what God is going to show me while I am there. This is my first trip out of the country that isn't a mission trip so the trip has a different feel to it already. I know that this opportunity is a gift and I can't wait to experience it!!
