Italy

If I was given enough money to cover the tuition at ISU for the next four years, on the terms that I would have to leave school and somehow spend the money, I would go to Italy. There is nowhere else in the world that I would rather be. I’ve wanted to go there ever since I could remember. I would love to stay there for an extended period of time so I don’t miss anything. I would also bring my sister with me, since going to Italy is one of her dreams, too.
First I would want to go Venice because I think it is absolutely gorgeous. When I got there I would want to go on a gondola and enjoy all of the sites. Every night while I was there I would want to go out to a different restaurant and experience all the different foods because Italian food is my favorite and my sister is an amazing cook and wants to become a chef so I know how much she would appreciate the experience.
After I spent some time in Venice, I would travel to Milan. I love fashion and since Milan is one of the fashion capitals of the world it is somewhere that I am dying to go to. I would spend days shopping, trying on clothes, and looking at all of the new fashions. After I did that I would want to go see all of the Cathedrals throughout the city since all of the architecture is so intricate. They’re all so beautiful and they would be something that I would really want to see.
The last place that I would have to make sure I go to would be Rome and Vatican City. Being raised in Catholic schools, I’ve learned a lot about the Vatican and I would love to actually go there and be able to see everything first hand. I want to be able to go and see part of ancient Rome such as the Coliseum or the Pantheon. They’re such a large part of history and I would love to be able to experience part of that.
