As some of you may already know, I recently returned from an excursion of a lifetime. My cousin works for Delta and she found me a round trip ticket to Milan, Italy for $400!!! They usually go for about $1500. Needless to say, I packed my bags and set sail 4 days later. My gear was stoked. She planned several activities for us to do during my stay. I ended up being upgraded and flew first class out of JFK to Milan. And also on the way back. I felt like a baller. After 30 hours of planes and Italian trains, i met up with my gear in Florence. It had been well over 2 months since we had last seen each other. Awesome day. So we spent time in Florence, Sienna, and Rome. They were all such sick places. Seriously, my mind was because I kept thinking about how much history is over there. Some of the worlds greatest and most artisitic minds (with the exception of Nate) walked the very same streets that I did. We went to the Colosseum, say some amazing sculptures by Bernini, awesome art work by Michelangelo. Raphael, and da Vinci. Also saw some work by one of my favorites...dude named Albrecht Durer. Truly incredible.
I could type several pages just about the food that I ate over there. IT WAS AMAZING. Pizza, pasta, gnocchi, tiramisu, and sandwiches with fresh mozzarella. So incredible. If we didnt do so much walking, I would have easily gained 10 pounds. No joke.
It was such a sick experience that I know for a fact i will never regret. It broadened my cultural horizons and it allowed me to experience the world from a different perspective. We are truly blessed to have a loving Heavenly Father who has given us an opportunity to spend time on this earth. I learned that while we are here, we should explore and enjoy His creations as much as we can. We should also make an effort to acknowledge and enjoy the brilliance of enlightened and inspired minds that have, and will continue to have a major impact on different cultures throughout the world.
