Our travels have gone extremely smoothly. Nothing has been stolen, we havent gone in the wrong direction on a train, and we have met so many wonderful people on the road. One thing that created a little troble was sorting out getting money, but we believe we should be good. Internet also has been scarce-- whoever said that internet cafes are everywhere is lying, because they are not anywhere we have gone.... sorry for the infrequent posts.
I never knew what a town full of nuns would look like until I went to Rome. It was absolutely hysterical how many nuns I saw. Yesterday I even sat next to one on our journey up to Venice--- she was extremely sweet in her old Italian ways... nonetheless, Emma and I were both still cracking up.
Rome was great until I almost fainted in the ancient ruiens. The heat was just about unbearable. I reccommend those of you who are interested in visiting Rome to go in April or in the spring. We saw the Collesium and Vatican which were both incredible and massive. We also wandered about all the streets in Rome and fell upon the Pantheon and many other beautiful churches.
Today was our first day in Venice and it was gorgeous. The canals are stunning and the brightly colored houses are tiny with brightly colored flowers flowing from the balconies. The one thing I didnt expect to see was so much grafitti. That was shocking to say the least.
We have one and a half weeks left and I feel like we are now getting the handel of it. On Saturday we head to Schwanden, Switzerland for a beautiful hike on Sunday.... I am excited to temporarily leave the heat behind me.
Until then... the young and wandering world traveler.
