Cremona.

04Jul08

 We “stopped by” cremona on the way back to Milan.  Everyone was SO tired in this city.  Mainly we learned about violins.  We got to meet a violin maker and see him demonstrate (although it takes FOREVER to complete an actual violin that will cost you like ten thousand dollars) and we got to see the [...]


Siena.

21Jun08

It actually only drizzled on and off in Siena, so no buckets of rain that day.  I knew a little about Siena from my discover italy DVD from the discovery channel (don’t laugh its very interesting and informative).  Basically what I knew was they had a crazy horse race called the Palio.  Siena is divided [...]

So the city really isn’t built on stilts exactly, but petrified wood and three small islands, but the city still appears to float.  Since I was about eight and my parents got me a CD about vivaldi in venice, its been a life goal to visit …and I finally have! It was all I expected! [...]


Milano (milan) was very cool!  The fashion capital of the world! We got to see the original prada, louis vuitton, dolce & gabbana and all thoose other cool stores.  After the bus tour we got to tour the Duomo, see  Castello Sforesco and tour  La Scala.  The Duomo was SO TALL!  I belive its built in the gothic style [...]
