Let's Finish This Thing!


Alrighty!! Let's finish this freakin' blog!!!
We'll start with visiting the city of Padova....wasn't a whole lot...we just walked around all day. It's a beautiful Italian city, full of many beautiful things. Saw the University of Padova, the piazza and the church...and ate about 10 things of gelato...annnd that's about all. Not much to say for this one.

Then the next day early in the morning we went to another school to talk to a group of kids who were planning on going on an exchange and we had to talk about our experiences and everything. It was neat. And then we were supposed to go to Verona, but there were no trains or chaperones anymore! So we went to Trevviso instead. We didn't do much there. Basically the same things as Padova. Saw a church, walked around. We had a bit more spare time for lunch and wandering however, which was nice. It was another beautiful city. Northern Italy is truly amazing and fascinating.

Saturday....first we went to another school/ conference and we had to stand up and speak into a microphone and say a bunch of things. I didn't get any pictures of this because I was concentrating so hard on not peeing my pants or something that I didn't think about it. Anyways after that, we were supposed to have a free day. But instead, we made a plan to go to Verona. And so, we were on the train for I don't know how long...and we arrived. We walked to the city center and saw a few things, and then we went to see Juliette's balcony and everyone got a picture of themselves touching Juliette The Statue's boob. Because apparently it's good luck. So one bood is slightly smaller and more beat up than the other...because she's blocking her right one with her arm so everyone grabs her left one. Poor girl.
Whooot!
