The last skate, Florence, Soccer.

Well the trip was a blast and no better way to end it with one last skate in Europe. We were able to have some final Italian dining, see the town and soaking up the little time we had left in Europe, amazing experience.




Rome Trip!

The Panethon, Roman Colosseum, Trevi fountain and the Vatican all in one day. With are day off, a few of us decided to catch a train a to Rome and see the sites. We were pretty pushed for time, but we were able to see all the spots we planned on seeing and we were all able to make it back in one piece!




First day in Florence, Italy!

Florence was very much like I pictured it to be and to explore the city the first day was amazing! Florence is known for it's fine leather jackets, but I learned quickly that their pretty known for saleing fake designer bags. The girls were very excited and I never saw so many bags bought, in so little time. A group of us went out that night to a local dining spot that we heard was amazing, then ended the night with some Italian Ice Cream.

Venice was unlike any place I had ever seen before! The movies and pictures I've seen of Venice don't do justice for how amazing this place really is. We first road the water bus down to the main part of the city was and saw the sites. We then decided to put on the blades and really go through Venice. First day in Venice, amazing!

Last chance for Paris

With not a whole lot of time to see Paris, the last main site we wanted to see was the La Grand Arch in the fincial district of Paris. We got on the Metro and it took us directly to the Arch. We took a elevator which took us to the top of the Arch, where there was a large art gallery was being displayed and we were able to go to the very top where we were able to have one last amazing very of Paris.

Bonjour, More Paris

The Musee De Orsay museum was full of some of the biggest named artist in one gallery. It was quite the experience to see all these paintings in person and have the time to see them all. We then went to the Arc of Triumph where we were able to go to the top and view just about the whole city of Paris. Later that night we saw the church of the living heart and also the moullon roughe. From the pictures you can see I did a sweet air grab and got a good old fashion piggy back ride from one of the girls.
