arezzo, assisi, umbria, monterchi, and sansepolcro

My weekend in pictures.  (A few weekends ago) 
Italy is a beautiful place.  It reminds me of Texas in that there are so many different regions and landscapes.  Every time I go somewhere I am constantly surprised.  It's amazing.  
Sometimes I ride on the trains with my jaw literally dragging on the tracks.  God is so creative.  To think that this is only a glimpse of His splendor.  Wow. 
This was one of my favorite weekend trips.  I really bonded with my friends and we all had so much fun.    I feel so blessed to be able to have opportunities like this.

3 weeks in pictures

Hello!  I realize it's been a long time since I've blogged.  And instead of trying to give you a recap of everything that's happened, I opted to just show you :)
Amanda and I in Sienna!
A view of San Gimignano from one of the towers.
Some good eats made by yours truly. 
Riding bike in Lucca with Sara Abad!
One word.  Midterms. 
My mom and I at Vatican City!
Trevi Fountian! 
Changing of the guards in Athens! 
My mom and I at the Acropolis with a view of Athens in the background.
A view of Florence from the Boboli Gardens. 
Mom and I in TUSCANY!
So basically I did a lot of traveling, studied for finals, cooked new things, had the most amazing trip with my mom, and saw 'cool stuff.'  It has been a great 3 weeks, and it's soon to be another great 3 weeks plus more! 
I would like to apologize to Paige and Anna for not being a good blogger.  And I am asking for forgiveness in the form of Kinder chocolate. What do you say?  Am I forgiven?
Have a great day y'all!
