Travels

As a graduation present, my mom took me to Europe over the summer. We spent three weeks on a cruise in the Mediterranean. I got to experience new people, places, food, and culture in Italy, France, Spain, Greece, Monaco, and Croatia. Most of these places I had never been before so it was especially exciting. I loved seeing the Coliseum, the Trevi Fountain, Saint Mark's Cathedral, the gondolas, and other Roman ruins. I had seen most of these in books or movies, but to see the real thing was incredible. I saw lots of artwork, Cathedrals, and Cloisters also. Being able to dock in the ports also was interesting because that is the main industry in most of these cities. My favorite place in Italy were Portifino and Capri. Words cannot describe how beautiful these cities are. And, most of all, the food is delicious.
