Pisa & Lucca Daytrip (a.k.a. “How many silly/dumb photos can we take at the Leaning Tower?”)
Pisa & Lucca are neighboring towns about an hour away from Florence by train. Pisa is well-known for its tower (we didn’t climb up), but there are several buildings in the area with beautiful medieval & gothic architecture. Lucca is a cute little walled-in medieval town swarmed by local tourists doing their Christmas shopping.

Rome is an awesome city, there is just so much history packed into one place. We’ve felt like our entire trip (the history of all the places we’ve been to) has been based around the rise and fall of the Roman empire. It’s surreal and feels like a completely separate dimension, but nope, it actually happened here!
This past week we’ve been to ruins, catacombs, more churches (I don’t think I can get sick of those), museums, and walked through medieval streets. Bernini is everywhere! We watched an opera rehearsal and a Baroque concert. And we found our favorite gelato place.
We’ll try and write more blog posts when we can!

Dubrovnik Photo Dump – This pretty little town sits on the edge of the Adriatic in Croatia. Do the buildings look familiar? It’s actually the set/model for King’s Landing in Game of Thrones. And they have really good ice cream!

Venice was a great little vacation, we loved “getting lost” (though comparatively, it was much easier to get lost in Fez or Marrakech), strolling around the canals, and finding little hidden pockets of history. The whole island is a beautiful museum!
Now, off to the Mediterranean for a few days!
