So it's been awhile since I have written, but it most be all the traveling. So Cinque Terre and Prague! Two amazing and amazingly different weekends. Cinque Terre was a program trip with A.P.I (which stands for Academic Programs International but "api" is the Italian word for "bee" so when we walk around with our sign in groups 
people always chuckle a bit and it's not always just at our flip flops) anyways... Cinque Terre was just wonderful. It was a series of walking, boat, and train tours of these five coastal lands. We actually only made it to four of them but saw all from the boat. My favorite was actually a town right before the five that is called "Portovenere." It kind of reminded me of the wedding scene from Mama Mia! I wouldn't mind getting married there, I guess. The day in Cinque Terre was spent mainly with shoes off, feet in the crystal blue water, or eating bread with the besto pesto, or just taking pictures in awe that the buildings could look so bright and colorful next to the blue sky and water! It was a great mix of a beautiful natural coast line, and man made buildings that were meant to simply complement the former!

So then it was out of the country to Prague!! Experiencing one of the best cities in the world with one of my best friends was just more than I could ever ask for! The contrast to the previous coastal beauty weekend was so cool!! The Gothic architecture and the dark instead of obvious beauty was so neat. I only had one full day there, but we made the most out of it, seeing almost all of the main sites! My favorite was the Cathedral and the views of the building tops and tree tops with all their changing leaves that matched the colors of the buildings, and the Old Town Square, the bridge, the drip wall, the John Lennon wall.... well I guess I just love it all!! So great! 
Well... the next adventure is Venice and Verona this weekend! I'll try to stay more up on my postings so that this joy that is uncontrollable at times can just be spread! Ciao!
