Semana Santa

Now that I'm blogging again, i'll try to be more frequent on writing, well just at least till the end of my semester. Well we had our first Spring break called Semana Santa which is like easter for us back home. Cesar and I traveled to Rome, Italy initially. We are obviously very organized and always plan ahead haha, but we didn't book any hotels. SO the first night we were there, luckily some of our peers went to Rome as well and we were able to crash on their floor. That night we all went out to explore the city and We saw the Trevvi Fountain, The Pantheon
we had pizza in rome cuz ya know


The next morning we had a train to florence and we spent the night there, so we found a cheap hostel and hit the plaza with statue of david.

the next morning we went to venice and just walked around, to save some money we booked an over night train back to rome. That day we were able to see the collessium and the sistine chapel in the vadikin city. I wish were were able to see the basillica, but time only had 24 hours in the day. Luckily for me I have been there once before.


That next morning we had a flight to Athens and walked up to the acropolis, unfortuantly we weren't able to access the top as it was closed that day :( and we had a flight booked already back to rome that night. #sorrymom, If I told you we allegedly hopped a fence and tried to climb to the top, got a cool view briefly before getting caught... before we went to jail, haha, we were able to talk our way out of it, ya know being tourists and all. Remember all this is alleged. After that we ran to grab some beers.

Our flight back home was late at night and we were meeting the bros early in the morning at the airport to catch our next adventure in Paris, France, so the only obvious choice was to pay for a hotel to catch some sleep for less than 4 hours or to sleep on the streets outside the airport till 4 ish in the morning for check-in. So I was homeless for a night no bigggy we still got 6 hours in France.

In Paris we had just enough time to see the Eiffel tower and grab some chocolate and banana crepes, I did however forget to get a beer from France, which makes it the only country I visited and didn't try their loggers. Then back to Sevilla for Semana Santa parade floats and easter.
