This summer me and my husband traveled to Italy for a bucket list trip. We had both been saving up money to travel to Italy for a few years now. We went to 5 different cities while they were there. We flew into Vince to start off their trip and spent a few nights there exploring the city. While we were in Vince they were able to see some amazing places such as the Saint Mark’s Basilica and Doge’s Palace. From Vince they traveled to Florence, Italy. In Florence we went to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore. We climbed to the top of it and it overlooked the whole city. We were also able to see the Statue of David. Once I saw this it brought tears to my eyes. Took look and see a 14 foot statue of David that you only get to see in books. From Florence they traveled to a town called Ostra. Her husbands great grandfather left Ostra to come to America. As a 20 year old young man left his family and life to start a better one in America. So we were able to visit the town where his great grandfather was from. While we were there we were able to meet one of his cousins that we have never meet before through social media. After that they traveled to Sorrento and got to see the beautiful beaches. To end our trip we went to Rome to see the colosseum. Overall I had an amazing trip and want to move to Europe now.
