I'm in France right now in Aix-en-Provence. I just got here this evening so I have not been able to explore the town yet. I came from Nice and I loved it there! I spent about 2.5 days there and loved being on the Mediterranean sea, it was beautiful and I want to go back soon!
Before Nice I was in Italy. I started off in Rome and then went to Florence. It was difficult trying to learn Italian, but I loved the food and the art there. I ate lots of pasta, pizza, and gelato and had the best tiramisu my first night in Rome. I saw all the main things in Rome: the pantheon, trevi fountain, colosseum and all the Roman ruins around the colosseum, the Vatican museums including the Sistene chapel, St. Peter's basilica, the Spanish steps, and some more squares and churches.
In Florence I went to the Duomo and climbed somewhere between 400-500 steps to see views of the city from the top. It was beautiful! I did that on Thanksgiving and also took a tour to the Chianti region of Italy where we toured a castle that makes wine and had a wine tasting. It was a lot of fun and of course I had to buy a bottle of the wine. It was really good, but now I have to carry it with me the rest of the way. I also went to the Uffizi gallery and another museum in Florence to see Michaelangelo's David. That was awesome! He was amazing to see and so much bigger than I expected!
I don't think I have much time left on this computer and it's really hard to type on a french keyboard, so that's all for now. I'm going to visit a friend who lives in Montpellier, France on Thursday so I will try to write again soon! I can't believe I will be home in 2 weeks. I love everything I've been doing, but can't wait to get home and see everyone again!
