From Journal: 10-19 (friday) Im laying in bed right now in our hotel in Venice at about 9pm and Im exhausted. I last wrote when we were on a train to Venice. Once off the train, we got on a bus and rode in a circle for about a 1/2 hour until finally figuring out where to get off to get to our hotel. The reception lady was really rude, but we got our room, stashed our stuff and headed to the city. Once in Venice we found a place to grab lunch since we were starvi...

From my journal: Oct 18 (thursday) I am currently on a tain to Venice with Madeleine. We left Florence at about 10:30am and should arrive in Venice around 1:30pm or so. I am excited, but not as much as I was about Roma. Venice seems cool and sureal, but nothing incrediably spectacular. Yesterday was fun.

The city is small and quant but the people are kinda rude. We ended up wandering right into ...

From Journal: written on October 15th (Tuesday) So I didn't have a chance to write last night, but now (sitting directly in front of the Trevi Fountain on a gorgeous night) seems like a good time to recap... I slept at Nikki's on Saturday night and we woke up early to go to pass at the Vatican. We walked along the walls of the Vatican until we finally reached St. Peters Square. It was a sight to see! I saw a million videos at Villa about the Vatican and St. Pet...

From my journal: So its about 11:30 at night (on saturday oct 13th) and I am still at Nikki's. After spending a gorgeous day at the beach (Lido Central) we headed back to her apartment where we got cleaned up and she made me dinner. I figured out my class schedule for next semester while she studied for her art history mid-term. I was suppose to meet the rest of the temple kids tonight at the Trevi fountain but some mis-communication lead to me hanging out with ...
