My Roman Holiday

      Oh my word! It's already August and I haven't even posted about my two days in Rome. So here is my little (yet not so romantic) Roman Holiday. We arrived on train late on June 7th and took a taxi to our apartment. I literally loved it! The next day we slept in till about eleven in the morning. After some lunch, we walked down the street to the Coliseum.

      And of course we had to take a selfie! After cooling off back at the apartment, we went to see the Trevi Fountain, but unfortunately it was under construction. We found the Pantheon, but the inside was closed. It was still really cool to see it though. It was humongous!

      We ate dinner right down the street, and headed to the apartment for bed. The next day we visited the Vatican. It was really cool. We went into St. Peter's Basilica, and I swear I walked over a thousand steps to get into the dome. I couldn't believe someone hand painted that whole ceiling by hand. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the Sistine Chapel. The line was ridiculous!

      The next morning, we took a taxi to the airport and flew back to Spain. I loved Italy so much! It is seriously one of the most beautiful countries! I can't wait to visit again!

Venice

      Hello! Hello! Today I was remising back on the day I was in Venice and how spectacular it was, and I thought "I haven't made a blog post about this yet!" So here I am typing away to one of the most magical days ever. It was on June 5th, after driving from Pisa the day we finally made it to Venice. I was so ecstatic! Ever since I was little I've dreamed of going to Venice, or Venezia as the Italians call it.

      After parking the car, talking to some Italian lady for thirty-minutes, and getting tickets for the bus/boat ferry thing, we were on the island. The ride was long, but worth it to see all the beautiful building we were going by.

      Next thing was trying to find our hotel which was...confusing. My GPS on my phone said I was there, when I knew I most definitely was not. Turns out you had to go down these alleys and turn to get there in the back. It sort of reminded me for Letter to Juliet for some odd reason. Hm? Anyway! We found the hotel and checked in, and cooled off. It was so so so hot there. One of the locals told me it gets as hot as Mexico, and that's not what I wanted to hear while I was wearing a black maxi.

      After cooling off, we went sight-seeing. This city is literally so beautiful! So many bridges and amazing architecture. And of course, Louis Vuitton!



      After our walkabout, we did something that was on my bucket list, since forever. We rode a Gondola down the flooded streets of Venice. It was like a dream. Everything was perfect!  Our paddler was so nice and fun, and we even got to listen to an Italian man singing in another person's gondola. Cue overload of pictures!

      I loved Venice so much! Seriously my favorite place, and I can't wait to visit again!



Oh and here's that video for ya! Try not to die.

Aiguablava Beach

      On June 3rd we went to Aiguablava Beach. It is such a beautiful place. A small cove surrounded by rocks and tons of sea urchins.

      We took a paddle-boat with a slide on top of it out to SEA. Haha! Get it? We found billions of sea urchins, and fish. We even made friends with a little British family, which was so cool!

   

      It was such a fun day on the water. Can't wait to go back!

Costa Brava

      May 31st, We went to the beach in Costa Brava on the Mediterranean Sea. It is seriously sooooo beautiful! The water is so blue!



      The only thing was some women in Spain don't think it's necessary to wear bathing suit tops. Yea. A little awkward walking through there. Don't go back and look at the pictures, I edited the ladies out!

      We had gelato and coffee on the beach. I was like a dream.

 
      Mom and I went exploring on the rocks for creatures. The water was so cold! We didn't see any creatures either. But it was still very very pretty.

 
       Later that night we attended a big Carnival parade in Palafrugell. It was so fun! Only a few of the floats were, how do I say this, not drunk. There were old people, kids, everybody out there all dressed up and painted, dancing like crazy! I wanted to join in!

Barcelona

      On May 30th, Eduard and his family wanted to take us to see Barcelona. We made the two hour drive and started our adventure. We went to the Sagrada Familia, a catholic church that has been under construction for over one hundred and fifty years. The architect's name was Antoni Gaudi and before he died he did some amazing work.

 

      Gaudi 's architecture was based from nature and Biblical symbolism. He though that if God's handiwork is good enough for Him, then why not base it off that.

 

Afterwards we decided to walk around and see the beautifulbuildings and streets. I loved the art they had there!

 
 
 

      It was a wonderful day full of fun and memories. I will never forget it.

Palamos

      My trip to Europe was seriously just so amazing, and I know it's taken me forever to share with you all but I am finally doing it. I am finally just sitting down and typing away. No distractions. So after we landed in Barcelona on May 29, I was completely dead. I had never had jet lag before, and my first experience was not pleasing. We drove for two and half hours to Palafrugell where the Millian-Morales family live. It is so beautiful there. Just a small Spanish town about fifteen minutes from the sea.

    After Mrs. Carmen's amazing lunch and a very much needed nap, we headed out to Palamos. The town is right on the sea, and has a beautiful port full of sail boats.

       There was a fish market where the fishermen take the fish strait out of their boats and into the ice to sale. And trust me they were fresh. You could smell it from a mile away. But it was super fun to see all the different creatures of the sea.

We walked around for awhile exploring Palamos and their beautiful streets and shops.

      We decided to eat at a restaurant overlooking the port called Bar Los Caracoles. It was adorable! Everything was white with glass for walls so light could shine through. We had what they call "tapes" which is just plates of food that everybody at the table shares. There was Prawns, Calamari, Potato Bravas, Croquettes, and Fried Anchovies. I don't know if the food on the plane was just that bad, or if the food there was seriously amazing. It tasted so good. I highly recommend this restaurant if you visit Palamos.

      After dinner Mr. Albert wanted to take us to Pals, where he lived as a boy. It used to a be a castle, yes, A CASTLE! The town was surrounded by a moat. There were cobblestone streets and flowers everywhere. It was beautiful!
