Last Weekend in Italy

Although I'm anxiously awaiting Sunday Funday in Gainesville with my friends at UF, it is a bittersweet feeling to know that this is my last weekend in Italy.... After this comes a few days of classes, a photography final - that should be a real arm twister - and then my 9:40 AM flight home.

After a long day of walking around Bellagio at Lake Como this morning and then catching the train back to Florence, I am tired. I got home and immediately unpacked with the thought in the back of my head that in 5 days, I have to pack it all up. For good. Emily, JP and I went to Galto for dinner again tonight. The full name of the restaurant translates to "The cat and the wolf". I had the Spaghetti e Pomodoro Fresco (fresh tomato sauce) and chianti.

Tomorrow, Em and I are waking up & going to grab our train tickets to Verona. We are leaving here at 11:00 AM to arrive in Verona around 1:00 PM to go skydiving (weather permitting as it has been raining on and off), have lunch, and to see Juliet's wall. We are watching Letters to Juliet on the train ride there tomorrow. Emily has never seen it before!!!! Crazy. I love the movie :)

Here are some pictures as promised from our weekend in Varenna on Lake Como. It was perfect!!!
