The next day, we sadly said goodbye to the house and to Morlupo! We really love that town and their little shops! We made a thank you note to send to the Parisi’s, so here it is! And a picture of their house for those of you who kept asking! They have a HUGE yard with a pool and a pond and lots of little seating areas! Very pretty!
Then we caught a train in to the city to meet Maura and her UGA abroad friends! We drank our boxed wine (which apparently here is for cooking and what bums drink….but hey! We are bums for the next year) and then went out to an Irish pub haha of course…cant get away from them! I’m ALL about eating local food, but we have eaten the crap out of Pizza and Gelato so i felt ok when we ordered supreme nachos and hot wings!
It was ladies night too so we got great deals on drinks! It was definitely fun to be out, and we played flip cup…my fave…AND my team dominated!! But the best part of the night was when the bars closed and we went sightseeing at 2 in the morning! Everything was lip up so beautifully and nobody was around to get in the way! We layed down in front of the Colosseum and looked up at it! STILL gets me everytime i see it! 0o0o and i threw 2 more coins in to the Trevi fountain [KEL!]
We probably walked around until 4am or so before we headed back to the hotel, and Brad and i grabbed our bags and headed to the train station to catch out train to Florence! We were exhausted and walking with those heavy bags was not fun! BUT it was worth it for a fun night with a friend!
yay i was going to tell you that you have to go to the colloseum at night! so awesome! me and scott and miles had a picnic (antipasto and wine) on the grass right there in front of it. it was so much fun we went back again the next night. trevi fountain is lovely at night too. and your amalfi coast pics are amazing! i never made it there so i guess you never made it to Siena??? its like an hour bus ride from Florence. one of my favourite towns in Italy!
Dear chelsea and Brad
I have written that many times but somehow it does not work. We are thoroughly enjoying your blog and so good of you to let us enjoy your travels with us. so far it is just amazing. lots of love to you both oma and granddad xxx
Hooray!!! I am glad you guys had great time! Vale and I are following you guys! Thanks for the sign I will make sure his parents see it. It was funny to see his house because the grass is all overgrown and the flowers are gone it's good you guys were there to keep the place company it's sad to think about it with no one instead it's such a lively place Safe travels to Florence! Can't wait for your next blog!
Really enjoying your updates & photos. Your journey makes our trip to Bali sound so mundane!!
Heyy kids! Hope everything is great for you, Michelle and I just made it back to the states. Budapest was whack, Vienna was awesome, and Amsterdam was pretty cool, but more expensive than we had imagined. We just wanted to wish you the best and say it was a damn pleasure running into you guys!
