It's a small world, after all

It still amazes me that you can travel super long distances and you'll still find people that you know.

Today, I was at Magnolia watching the Spain vs. Germany game, when someone who looks a lot like a friend I knew back in high school who I haven't seen for a year came in. We both ended up staring at each other before I realized that it was indeed who I thought it was! OMG. Chelsea Nehler! At this point, I was already up, out of my seat giving her a huge hug. I'm still super amazed that I can travel to a different CONTINENT and see familiar faces. WHAT?

On a less exciting note, the tiramisu at Magnolia is really good. And super beautiful. I'm sad I didn't bring my camera. The Caribbean I got there was pretty good too, although the orange slice they put in was not so good...

This morning we visited one out of the only two mosques in Italy. The train ride over was interesting... we missed our stop twice and had to get off and go back and forth. At the mosque, all the girls had to wear scarves to cover heads. Mosques are strangely different and very... clean... looking, because they don't have any depictions of God, so there's like no artwork inside, but it's still super beautiful. Today, I learned that Islam is more accepting of other religions than I thought. I also kind of want to fast for Ramadan after our tour guy was talking about how it represented using your mind to overcome the body. It's like... a challenge =D.

For art history, we visited these two churches. Holy crap, the ceilings were amazing and like.. completely gilded with gold. So Gorgeous. We also saw Aqua Paolo. I really want to go 'swim' in it sometime.

I miss everyone back at home! ♥
