I'm officially excited!
We've booked our stays with a couchsurfer in Pisa for the first two days as we visit the Cinq Terre, then we head on to Venice, where we'll spend the last two days before we have to meet up with the class in Rome on the 6th.
I went shopping and got everything I need (except for the sunglasses and maybe a hat).
and I started packing. The small bag I bought is going to be perfect to carry my dictionary, lunch, sketchbook, and extra change of clothes in case.
Now I have to start to plan for the five days after the course!
On the MUST-SEE list: Pompei and Vesuvius
On the definitely, maybe: Ravenne, Capri, Amalfi, Sorrento, Verona, Assisi, San Gemeniano, etc...
I'm thinking of setting up camp in a nice B&B and traveling to and fro every day. I wanted to stay in Rome, which is where I have to be to catch the plane back, but I found this gorgeous B&B in Verona called Juliette's House (not actually Juliette's house, but nearby). It's a little off budget, though... anyway... plenty of time to plan for next month!
I have to go reserve our beds in Venice.
WORD OF THE DAY: LOTTA
"Lottare contro Massimo!"
Funny story: looking for a couch host, we found Massimo, the super awesome guy who lets you stay at his place... only if you're willing to wrestle with another couch surfer. He was ready to let us stay because he thought it was going to be a man-on-man fight... then he found out I was a girl... how disappointing. We found ourselves a prettier place where we don't have to wrestle!
