Returning to Roma

Sunday morning was another 'early' one meeting for check out at nine, Becca and I were up at seven to take our time and eat free breakfast again. Then it was goodbye Florence hello two hour bus ride. I tried to nap a bit, but was unsuccessful, instead I looked through my pictures from the trip so far. Around two hours in we reached our second destination San Gimignano. This is a tiny Tuscan hill town, that is known for it's towers, built as status symbols in the renaissance period. It was absolutely gorgeous here, beyond beautiful, I'm not sure if the sky has ever been bluer. We had a tour of the main attractions for about an hour before we were set loose in the city. Becca Melissa and I walked around the entire town in an hour, maybe under. It got pretty cold, and was windy, which I love. I could have done without the hail however. Around lunch we decided to get pizza, it was amazing! the slices were huge, the crust was thin and it was delicious. We walked around more before stopping for the fourth and final gelato. I had white chocolate, delizia (I don't know what this translates to but it was amazing) and cheesecake, it was wonderful. We hung out for a bit longer before climbing back on the bus, it was another four hours before we reached Rome, with a bathroom break in the middle. It was just after eight when we stepped into our apartment, and I spent the night catching up with people, and uploading pictures. It was a wonderful trip, and makes me excited for the other two ISA excursions. Also I've added links to my facebook albums of pictures from Italy. You can click on them and see all my photos, rather than just the ones I post, and you do not need to have a facebook account. :) enjoy.
