You can catch up with part 1 here. After lunch it was finally time to do what Taylor had been looking forward to all day. The Wax Museum… I guess we got tired of the city, maybe because of the weather or possibly impractical footwear decisions, but we spent the afternoon out enjoying some scenery
Dear Me at 23, I know you’re not a huge fan right now, but things change. They may change slowly, but they change. You never really notice differences on a day to day basis, but when looking back, it’s hard to ignore the space between who you are in the present and who you are
On Saturday, Kelsey (AKA BFFFFFF&F) drove up from San Diego to see me! We ate an early (and long) lunch in downtown Pasadena at a place called Slaters 50/50. Their burger patty was made from 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon. Yes. You read that right. Afterwards we decided to visit Griffith Park Observatory
It’s New Year’s Eve Eve. The day after tomorrow will be 2013. It’s weird how quickly the year seems to have passed when you’re looking back from the tail end of it. When we got to Snowshoe on Sunday, it was cold and windy but there was little to no snow in the forecast. In

They were all super skittish and didn’t want anything to do with my unsolicited petting, but I still always tried. I wanted so badly to save them all! Pretty much every part of the city is inhabited
Our last day in Italy was the most relaxing, by far. It was definitely a nice way to end my two week stay, and I’m sure my Aunt and Cousin enjoyed themselves. Negombo is a thermal park on the island of Ischia. It gives the illusion of being secluded – it’s surrounded on three sides
After our exhausting 2-day Rome excursion, we enjoyed a much needed “day of rest” at my dad’s. On Sunday, our second to last day in Italy, my aunt, cousin, and I spent several hours enjoying a mini cruise to Positano. We met our tour bus at the Naval base and then boarded our boat at
So. We went to Rome on Thursday. We woke up at 5:30 AM, drove to the NATO base, and walked to the metro. All under the presumption that we had plentyyyy of time to catch the metro downtown where we’d switch trains to the Eurostar for Rome. We stood at the Metro station for close
