FINALLY!!!
It seemed like it had been forever since I had seen him and I was so excited! Alex flew in and stayed for about ten days for his spring break! We had such a great time! I showed him all over Florence, (bypassing the museums since he wasn't too interested ha) then went to Bologna and Viareggio, a town on the Italian coast!
We went to Bologna the first weekend he was here and it was great! The weather wasn’t so much but we still had fun! We walked around the city center and climbed the huge tower, La Torre degli Asinelli. It was kinda scary; the stairs were steep, dark, and small. Once we got to the top it was definitely worth it though! Afterwards, we walked around, got some gelato, and then went out to dinner!
That next week I had midterms in all my classes so it was hard to do everything we wanted and still have time to study but it all worked out! I took him to all my favorite places to eat, the leather market, and the river! I’m sure he got his fill of pasta and wine…welcome to Italy! We also climbed the Duomo all the way to the top. I got a little woozy because it was very tiny stairs that winded all the way up!
Anyways, I couldn’t wait till midterms were over because we were going to Viareggio right after my last class! Viareggio is a small city on the western coast of Italy on the Ligurian Sea! It is known for its Carnivale where they have huge floats and parades for several weeks! Sadly we just missed it. However, we had a great time! It was so fun to see the sea and walk along the beach! There was a Ferris wheel that we also got to take a ride on! The city was a nice get-a-way from the huge city of Florence. It was quiet and hardly and tourists (Florence is overrun by them right now)! We just walked along the boardwalk, harbor, and pier. It was a beautiful day to be at the beach! I want to go back already!
Before I knew it, the week was over and Alex had to head home. It was so great to see him and have him
see what my life is like here but I miss him even more now.
