Taste of Italy

Kevin and I decided that the perfect name for our two week Italy trip is the Taste of Italy. That is because we got a little taste of all of Italy. We began our trip in Milan and then traveled to Venice, Florence, Foggia, Rome, Taormina, Catania, and Trapani all in two weeks. We didn't spend a long time in any of the cities but we were usually able to see the major sites and relax a little. Our favorite spot was Venice. Along with being very romantic it was also very relaxing and beautiful. The best food was in Kevin's mission, Foggia and Sicily. We traveled by train and used a eurorail pass which allowed us 11 travel days on the train and we have two months to use them. Kevin's Italian seemed to come back to him with ease and It was a lot of fun watching him communicate with all the people. Although I often felt like he was a stranger because I had never seen this Italian side of him this much before. Being able to speak the language came in very handy though especially when finding our hotel was near impossible. In the end we got a lot of sun, walked lots of steps and miles, ate lots of good food, and enjoyed lots of good company.
