Bonjurno from Italia
Hey everyone we finally arrived in Italy safe and sound after our departure Friday afternoon from Toronto. It was a long plane ride and we were exhausted when we arrive Saturday afternoon in Florence. After settling into our room we had our first chance to experience the beautiful city of Florence and boy did it blow our minds. This city is break taking. After the tour we all congregated for our first dinner at a lovely restaurant in the main square of Florence. It was off to bed early for us that night as we had a 6:30 am wake up call for our next day excursion to Venice. The bus ride to Venice was about three hours followed by a short boat ride to the island. On the boat ride to Venice we were unbelievable overwhelmed by the beautiful architecture of the buildings. After arriving in Venice we were able to shortly walk around the city and grab a quick bite to eat. We then got a first-hand experience of the famous Morano glass factory as well as a chance to ride in one of the well-known gondolas. The following day started off with our morning classes and an introduction to a contest we will be participating in throughout our month in Europe. Each class was assigned a colour and given a pair of sunglasses, then were asked to come up with a team name as well as a cheer that we will presented later on our trip. After class we were lucky enough to experience the amazing leather market as well as the iconic leaning tower of Pisa. Wednesday is our last day in Florence and then we will be off to Roma. Everyone on the trip sends there hugs and kisses. We will be posting a blog later tomorrow about our excursions later this week. Love you mom and dad!
