Rome & Pompei

Happy late Thanksgiving! I am just getting back from my weekend trip to Rome and Pompei and wanted to give yall an update on how things are... My trip to Rome was so much fun and for the most part we had great weather! We got to see all the major sites, and enjoy a lovely Thanksgiving meal at the Hard Rock Cafe!! Saturday we got up and took a trip to Pompei for the afternoon and then today we took the long train ride home.

Facebook has been blocked at school, so right now I am only going to put up a few of the main pictures. Once we figure out the whole facebook situation, I will be sure to give yall the links to all of my pictures from my trip.

Touring the Colosseum!

The group for the day!

At the Vatican! The weather wasnt that great, but it was SOOO pretty!

Trowing our coins into the Trevi Fountain! 1=good luck. 2=return trip to Europe. 3=fall in love and return to Rome... This picture makes me laugh because--first of all, that is probably the same motion/face I make when serving in tennis; and second of all, I think that we were supposed to do it with our right arm over our left shoulder. O well. It's the thought that counts!

Just a few of the bodies found in Pompei.

The group of us in some stadium thing in Pompei.

Snow in Italy!!

Well so today I got up and got ready just like I usually do... except when I opened my window to see what it looked like outside i saw snow!!! There was actually quite a lot on the ground (compared to what I usually see in November. aka none) and it was coming down pretty hard... now it has stopped and it is starting to melt away, but it was still pretty exciting. Here are some pictures out my windows... I will try and get some good pictures of the mountains later.

Barcelona, Dublin & Berlin

For my second travel break I went to Barcelona, Dublin and Berlin. I had a great time but now I'm having to get back in the school mode again... Once again I am going to just post the links to my pictures... Maybe one day I will have time to come back and write about them... I am starting to get super busy with school work... and I only have 18 days till I get home... This semester has FLOWN by.

Enjoy!

Weekend in Venice!

Last weekend I had the chance to go back to Venice... I was excited to just be able to wonder around and see all the things I hadn't seen during the few days I was there back in September (when it was SO hot and Suzannah and I thought we were going to die from carrying all our bags)...

We thought it was going to rain the whole weekend, but the weather turned out to be perfect and I absolutely loved it... One of the best parts of the weekend was getting to experience Venice during a 'flood'. Even though I am a little sad that my shoes probably aren't going to be returning to Arkansas with me, it was a once in a lifetime experience and I can now say that I've been in the water in Venice!
