After Barcelona, I went to ITALY! I spent six days with friends enjoying pasta, pizza (every kind, every day), wine, and gelato. I spent half the time in Florence and the other half in Venice. Highlights: all-day tour of Tuscany, karaoke at Space, getting left at Space, the David (amazing butt), Il Duomo, dinner at Il Gato e La Volpe, amazing lunch and wine "tasting" at an organic farm in Tuscany, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, World Champion gelato in San Gimignano, Piazza Michaelangelo, PLUS Florence, train rides without seats (but with boxed wine), the Venice Grand Canal, butterflies on the wall, jam sessions with borrowed guitars, gondola rides, Piazza San Marco, getting lost in the tiny streets of Venice, the "nightlife," the soccer mullet and eating amazing food every single day. Conclusion: Italy is wonderful.
