Many if you know that I spent the first 11 days of July in Italy with my boys. Two years ago, I was invited to join my boys on their Latin Trip to Italy. Having backpacked Italy at the age of 25, I have always wanted to share the beauty of this country with my boys. At 52 years old, Italy did not disappoint. My love of Italy and traveling abroad has been reignited!
Trust me, I am going to look into an Idylwild retreat in Italy for the future!!! In the meantime, Here are a few photos of our trip.
Just to clarify, this was not a vacation... it was an educational tour. As such, we saw soooo much and traveled all throughout Italy over those 11 days, visiting Rome, Pompeii, Sorrento, Capri, Orvieto, Florence, Ravenna, and Venice.
My favorite highlights , besides the food, were Bernini's David at the Galleria Borghese in Rome, swimming in the Mediterranean Sea off of Capri, and walking through the Holy Doors at St Peter's during this Jubilee year. There is so much more too! My heart is so full. Enjoy.
