Rome Luca Tuscany Florence Pisa

basically italy is incredible
when in rome we pretty much saw everything.




but the best shopping was under the spanish steps





luca was really incredible i rode a bike around the wall twice
it took a long time but it was seriously amazing
and in Pisa i obviously saw the leaning tower

it was not as ideal as i imagined due to the excesive amount of graffiti
i felt like an idiot because i think people like to rip off americans



but we rented a house in tuscany which was amazing


i just hung around by the pool and kitchen




then my relatives from Austria came to visit there

my cousins Madeline 18 and Jouhanis 15 were really nice to see again
madeline came to visit us over christmas break 06
so i recently saw her
but i hadnt seen jouhanis since i dont even know and it was really nice to see him
too

it was good to catch up
madeline and i talked mostly about music and we realized that we like some of the same bands primarily, Kaiser Chiefs.
my favorite place was florence though


i got 2 pairs of shoes from janet & janet and i actually met the designer in the store and he was really sweet and gave me 50 euro's off
then a shirt and another pair of shoes from zara.
i miss la though so much
the last night in florence there was a festival where every store on this one street stays open till like 2am.






i was also so happy to see american apparel

and that was so incredilble
one thing that was really wierd was that i met the owner of the counter next to clover

he was really sweet and with his wife who was so nice
they had just arrived that afternoon
i'm leaving tomorrow from italy to germany and then to la. straight through


i can't wait to start packing for camp.
the sooner i can see everyone
i hope olivia,kate,louisa are having fun in NY





zoe
