I never traveled abroad before, and I knew that once I did, it would feel as if I was breaking out of this box and entering a new realm. I knew that finally going, abroad would help me think and sharpen my art craft. I would be able to learn, understand, and most importantly respect the ways of other peoples culture.
Despite my preparation of what was to come and my understanding of how significant this trip would be, I was still in so much awe when I actually placed my feet on the floors that many prestigious artists have walked upon, when I pressed my fingers against the frescoed walls that were made by their genius, and when I laid my eyes on their impressive works. I was truly amazed.
It was not until I rode past the beautiful rows of sunflowers, grapes, and corn that blanketed the countryside that it dawned on me that I was in Italy! I was in one of the most well known cities in the world of art. Florence, Italy is the birthplace of renaissance and of many masterpieces. It would also come to be one of the most-beautiful places I had ever seen.
My favorite part of the trip was our visit to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. One look at it can make you question the laws of physics. How can something so large be so off balance and still standing? In my opinion, it could be the eighth wonder of the world. From the church of Santa Maria Navela, to the Arno River, the Ponto Vecchio, and even the tasty gelato shops, Italy has it ALL!
These are the reflections of the best trip of my life; my excursion to Florence, Italy. Thank you for helping to make it all possible --
