In Italia!

Heyyy! im back! i'm so glad to be home, i missed all of my friends and my pets and the food! i am so sick of italian food, i had pasta for like every single lunch and dinner, except for when we were in milan and we were so sick of italian food so we went out for chinese twice lol. i missed salads. their salads there do not compare to the salads we have here! i know that they're more healty though because the dressing is always oil and balsamic vinigar, much healthier than the thick creamy dressings we use here which basically cancel out the good you are doing with the salad like ceasar and ranch. ceasar salad is my favorite food in the whole world though! i guess you don't go there to eat the foods you have already tried though, its to experience the culture and the different foods. but after three weeks i really missed salad.
ok i'm done with my food rant now. before i get into italy here's what i wore today.
ok pretty boring and basic, white shirt from some store in new york, old navy flip flops and navy and white striped shorts from american eagle that remind anne of train conductors. but white button ups are my new favorite thing. white is my favorite color to wear, in stores its like what catches my eye and i find i usually end up buying mostly white tops. anyway, you can do so much with them and thats why i love them!
i'll post more on italy later but my favorite cities were rome and florence. milan was cool because of the shopping, (i bought habitual jeans and jimmy choos and a little prada purse. lame that two of the things i bought are from other countries but the jeans were 20 euros when they were orriginally around 200 and the shoes were 145 when they were orriginally 300. soo you pretty much have to buy them when they're that cheap. and my purse was only 100! lol its like this little orange thing i can't imagine anyone else buying. i'll probably use it for like dances and dinners because its too small for an every day purse.) and venice was cool because of the water (lol) but florence was just clean and breathtaking everywhere i went, and i was so in awe at rome. i mean its ROME. but, i think the always having running water thing is wasteful ;). plus i don't think they recycle in italy. i didn't see like a single recycling bin or truck. so i don't think you'd like it so much alex lol. but other than that it was amazing and since it was the first city i went to it seemed like so cool because i had never seen anything like it.
Heres some pictures until i get a chance to post more about italy.










florence. it was so cool because when you walk along the river you can see like mountains and stuff. and every single day there was beautiful and sunny.
dang i'm so strong! haha this is at pizza. you pretty much have to take a pic like this if you go there. its like the law. sorry for the craptastic picture of me! they were like doing construction on it when we were there.












more of florence, standing in the same place as the other but facing the other way. it was pretty cool. soo these are all i will post for now but there is more to come don't you
worry!
i would also like to note that i have gladiator tan lines. augh. lol
