Italy

Last week my family and I went to Italy.  First we went to CinqueTerre.  CinqueTerre means "Five Lands" in Italian, because there are five towns close to each other.

My favorite town was Manarola.  We got to hike up a lot of steps.  We went with my Dad's college friends Patricia and Michelle.  I liked playing 'Liar Liar' and 'Rich Man Poor Man' (card games) with them.  I liked riding the Ferry too.  We walked along the beach and I picked up some colorful rocks.  I got to bring two home.  They were actually green glass that had been smoothed by the ocean and was specked with white.



After CinqueTerre we went to Florence.  First we went to our hotel which is really close to the train station, then we looked at the swimming pool on the roof.  After that we went exploring and we climbed up the Duomo (dwo' mo).  Then we shopped around and I got a marionette.
