EUROPE!!!

So, as many of my friends know I have wanted to go to Europe ever since I was little and I finally went!! And it was AMAZING!!! I mean, the whole trip is kind of a blur because I did so much everyday, but it was an amazing experience and I am so happy that I got to go. I have over 500 pictures and a few videos of some stuff. I've tried uploading pictures onto Facebook THREE times and it still won't upload them. Its frustrating. OK, I'm starting this post again and I currently have almost 200 of my pictures up!
I barely remember the first and second day because I was so tired, but so was everyone and because they were bascially meshed together because we arrived in Rome at 8:30am and got our luggage and then started touring Rome. The very first thing we toured in Rome was the Colloseum which was amazing! I've always wanted to go to the Colloseum ever since I was little and I'm so happy I finally got to see it. We also toured the Roman Forum on the first day and I seriously just took pictures of it so I would remember it. I was beyond tired when we were walking in the Roman Forum. Surprisingly, I do remember some of the information our tour guide told us.
The next day we went to Vatican City and that should have meant more to me since I'm Catholic, but I seriously enjoyed it a lot because of all the beautiful sculptures and art in the galleries and museums we walked in. And then, we walked into the Sistine Chapel. I've wanted to go there for so long and I finally got to. I wished I could have stayed in there longer. It was just breathtaking. When we were leaving, since there were so many people in the Sistine Chapel, my delegation held onto one another, we were bascially a force that couldn't be broken until it was broken when a tour guide got in my way and made me let go of the person if front of me. Then I experienced being yelled at in some language that I had no clue what it was...it wasn't Italian, it wasn't Spanish, it definitely wasn't French, and it most most definitely wasn't Chinese or Korean or Japanese. This tour guide was crazy. And then I got to walk with this tour guide's group which I might add was full of old, very slow walking people. I was very annoyed. I mean, I found my delegation soon after, but still. -anger-
Wow, this is hard for me to remember the highlights of the trip. Actually, my advice is to just look at the pictures I have on Facebook. The last thing I want to talk about is when we went to Olympia and then the Acropolis.
About Olympia, that was awesome. I totally ran in the stadium! Woo! I really wanted to walk around Olympia longer, but we didn't get too much time to walk around which was sad, but I still got plenty of pictures.
About the Acropolis. When you're walking near to it, it looks like some hike up a mountain that's going to be dreadful, but then its not horrible at all. In my mind I was thinking, "This is going to be like walking up Mt. Etna for the third time." (we walked up 8,000 of the 11,000 high mountain and then we had to walk up another mountain when we were in Greece to see the cave where Zeus was born) Oh yeah, the second time we walked up a mountain, I might add I was in my tight denim mini-skirt(wearing leggings) and wearing my brown flats that my mother wants to burn because they're really worn out. Let me add, I was wearing that same exact thing when we walked up to the Acropolis. So if anyone asks me, "whats the most extreme thing you've done in a miniskirt?", I can gladly say "walked up a mountain in Greece." Anywho, the Acropolis was amazing. I loved, loved, loved seeing the Parthenon!! I've wanted to see that place for awhile! We saw the Acropolis on the last day. That was the perfect end to the trip.
When I got back to Tallahassee and was at the airport, the minute I saw my parents I started crying. I couldn't help it. And then I hugged so many people before I left, but there was a certain person I didn't get to say goodbye to that I really wanted to say bye to...oh well. I'll see him at the renuion party and besides that we've been talking. Anywho, I have all the pictures I wanted to put up on Facebook up, but I still need to upload some videos. One word for Italy and Greece. AMAZING.
