MIAMI, I'M BACK

Well believe it or not, but I'm back Miami! Can you believe that ten says went by so fast? In fact this is the shortest I've ever been in Italy, especially after two years of not being there. Anyway instead of talking about how long I've been there, I have to tell you what I did and saw. First, we arrived to Milan. We didn't spend the night because my uncle had to go out of town, so one of his colleague came to pick us up at the end of the day and took us to my great grandmother's house in Viareggio. Next few days: Claudia, Beach, Beach, Beach, Alessandro, Chicca, Beach, Beach. Choo, Choo! Next stop Rome! My first trip to Rome since I was three months old. Wow, I may have not seen everything but but I walked 18 kilometers( a.k.a 12 miles). My favorite place twas the Fountain of Trevi, where I tossed five coins. We went back to Viareggio the next day and fell asleep as soon as we arrived into the house. 9:00 a.m = in he car for Populonia. 10:00 a.m = arrival. 10:15 a.m = walking to the beach + picking blackberries. 10:45 a.m = arrival to the beach. 3:00 p.m = back for dinner. 10:00 p.m = spend the night. The next day we go to Bolgheri. We play in a little park, have lunch, visit the art gallery, buy souvenirs and leave for Viareggio. We spend the night at my mom's cousin's house. Our last day in Italy. It was like sweet and sour. we visited everybody to say good bye. The next day we were at the Florence airport at 5:30 in the morning to take a flight to Rome and from Rome we went direct to Miami. That was the end of our trip and now I am back in Miami.

WE ARE OFFICIALLY CLOSED. ( OUT TO VACATION)

Today is the day! At 6:00 my plane departs for Italy. This time my mom and I are not only going to Viareggio, but for the first time since i was 3 months old I'm going to Rome! But in the meantime I first go to visit my family in Viareggio, for my baby cousin's baptism. In fact before that event I arrive in Milan,to stay at my uncle's house (which has no air conditioning and it is 42 degrees celsius). So before I depart I want to say goodbye, adios zai jian, au revoir,and finally ciao.
