Bell Tower, Venice, Piazzale Michelangelo, San Miniato

Hey everyone! I am so sorry I haven't been blogging. I have been crazy busy this past week or so. I have done so much lately! I can't wait to tell you!

Last Wednesday, 08/02, I climbed the Bell Tower next to the Duomo! Mom and me are going to do it when they get here in 12 days!!!!!!!! I climbed a total of 828 steps (both up and down in total). It was rough and my legs hurt for about 3 days, obviously I need to do the stair master more. The view was amazing! Absolutely breath taking. I will post pictures about the 4 places after this post so you can see how beautiful it was without having to climb it!

This past Saturday, 11/02 I went to Venice for Carnevale! There were a total of about 250 kids that went! It was a 3 1/2 hour bus ride. I had a wonderful time. Everyone there was just enjoying themselves and making the best out of Carnevale. My mask was really pretty too :).

Today, Wednesday 15/02, I climbed up to Piazzale Michelangelo with my Story of Florence class. Another amazing view. From there we went to San Miniato, which is a church at the very top of the hill. It is a Medieval church and is very different. I really wanna show my parents this too. I thought the Bell Tower walk was bad? This was pretty close/worse. But it was every step!! The Bell Tower was very closed in and was kinda claustrophobic. Whereas the walk to San Miniato is all outside and open. Daddy you can do this one!!! <3

All for now I will post pictures later!

Ciao! <3
