Hey, I'm Kate and this website is all about the trip that i took to Italy. It was an awesome trip and I had so much fun. Italy is a great place to visit and I would love to go back. So, just check out the site. I have pictures from the sights I saw and some stories to go along with them.
I left for Italy on June 17, 2003 and I got back June 25, 2003. While I was there i went to Rome, Florence, Venice, and Milan. I saw many different things including The Last Supper by Leonardo di Vinci, the Vatican, the Trevi Fountain, and many other sights. The trip was a great experience. I got to meet some really cool people from tons of different places and I learned a lot about another culture. I would highly suggest taking a trip to Italy. It is a very interesting and historical place.
