Adventures

These last 2 weeks I have had a few great 1 day adventures around Italy with some pretty rad people....

Adventure 1: Scilla con Caylin, Tanner & AJ (Caylin's cousin and friend visiting from Spain)

We hiked up to the old castle which had an amazing view and then just walked around the town for a bit where we met an awesome dog that followed us all the way back to the train station...good ol' Rosco!

A couple of days later I was off to Rome on a mission to get a new passport! Night trained there with Valentina (not something I would recommend. Let's just say a giant fat man with stinky feet snoring the whole way, is not the ideal way to travel.) After GREAT success at the US embassy in the morning we had a couple of hours before our train left back to Reggio, so we had a power tour of Roma trying to catch as many sights as we could...

Victor Emmanuel Monument in Piazza Venezia

The Oh So Glorious Colosseum

Trevi Fountain...threw my coin in and will be returning to Rome soon

The last little day trip was to Pentedattilo, an abandoned town in the mountains about an hour outside of Reggio. Meghan's parents are visiting and staying in a B&B where our main man Steve works and puts together tours around, so that's how we stumbled upon this little gem. 

Seriously one of the coolest places I have ever been. I've been lucky enough to see some amazing and famous sites thus far, but this was pretty crazy because we were the only one's there and could climb through these old houses and castle surrounded by a spectacular view. My only regret of this trip is that I didn't dress properly. Not to worry, my 10 year old instincts took over and I was climbing (dangerously) on everything with my sandals and blazer. 

Mom and Dad: please get here so I can take you to these places
