Ooopssss :)

So remember that times I said that thing about blogging errydqy? Yeah no. That didn't exactly happen my friends!!!
I'M SORRY!
Tonight was my last night! And I'm really really tired, so I promise I'll write you an extra long post while on the plane tomorrow!!
Enjoy these photos in the meanwhile

Just love me,
Julia Rose

Hey mom! Guess what?! I'm a sports!!

thats right ladies and gents: I am a sports. On this fine day I, Julia Rose, hiked the Cinque Terre trail...well part of it! Over two hours of beautiful views and lots of sweat! I actually love it here! Then after some gelato and French fries, we went swimming in the mediterranean sea! It's weird to think that I'll be living on the other side of that sea for nine months in less than two months (..I think). Anyway enjoy a few photos!
As always,
Julia Rose

CINQUE TERRE! ...Whaaaat?

hey so yeah! Ask me where I am! I'm in Cinque Terre! where is that? Pshh...I have no idea!
This has has to be a quick blog post because I'm about to run out the door! But it's SO beautiful here! I've never been here and today will be an exciting day to explore!
As always,
Julia Rose

PS I can see the ocean from here!

What day is it??

So, my blogging hasn't been as on point as I'd like it go be. Sorry!
Today I have nearly an entire free day in between the two trips I'm going on. I'm currently in Venice, where Italy Photo just ended yesterday, and where Classic Italy will begin today-ish!
I had an amazing amount of fun with the kids on last trip, but I'm also really excited for the new kids! And this new trip!
Two days ago(I think??) we visited the Islands of Murano and Burano. I took some pretty sweet photos if I do say so myself. And tomorrow I will be returning to Murano and Burano! Yay!
Well I don't have much else to say this morning, perhaps I will post again later today. But who knows? I surely don't.
Sorry for a bit of a disappointing post!
as always,
Julia Rose

OH. MY. GOODNESS

Gah! How many days has it been??? I have lost all sense of time and space these last few days! Plus I had a flakey Internet connection that caused a lot of apathy in the blog writing department, but here we go!
So the day after my first full day (what day that was I simply can't recall), went to Pisa! With its wonderful leaning tower and what not! Upon returning we went to see the David! And even though you aren't supposed to take photos, I might have anyway! That night we climbed some thing ( not the Duomo) and it gave us a BEAUTIFUL view of Florence at sunset, what a lovely day 'twas.
Yesterday we left the beautiful (and very hot!) Florence and came to Venice by train! The day consisted of a lot of photo taking and walking about, nothing too exciting.
Today we will be visiting the Islands of Murano and Burano. The islands of lace and glass!
Stay tuned for more soon!!
as always,
Julia Rose
P.S. enjoy just a preview of my best photos :)

FFD (first full day!)

WOWWWWW! Today was great! I'm über tired! Not too tired to blog though!
First, as I said this morning, we went to the Boboli gardens. Which are some awesome gardens behind a palace that the. Medici (spelling????) family bought out when their rivals went bankrupt!
Then we did a bit of shopping, which is always fun. Then we went to the Uffitzi (again..spelling..my iPad doesn't have Italian spell check. #foreignstruggs #lizziemcguiremovieproblems) gallery. Which is this awesome museum with just a TON of renaissance art. I cannot CONFIRM or deny, but I MAY or may not have taken some sweet pictures of the "Birth of Venus" painting and some others...by accident of course.
After the museum we did a bit more shopping (albeit I have yet to buy anything other than gelato and post cards). But last nights adventures might've been the best part of the whole day! We went to basically a live screening of the Italy vs. Spain Euro cup game! There were TONS of people. I did a glorious amount of people watching. Unfortunately, Italy did loose; 3:0 (see what I did there? It makes me sound like I know sports!!!) and we walked home alongside the defeated on our way back to the hostel.
Today we're going to a winery, and I'm just absolutely so excited! We crossed paths with the TFT Discover Europe trip (which consists of about 34 kids, 30,girls and 4 guys) and they went yesterday. They absolutely loved it.! So, to express my own excitement, today is a blue dress day! yay!
Until next time,
Julia Rose



PS I'm posting this from Montaclino! It's nice, I guess!
