Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

I traveled to Milan this weekend. Milan is about 160 miles away from Florence.

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

Since arriving to Florence, I've only traveled to Milan. Therefore, I've traveled 160 miles outside of my base city so far!

How did I get around this week?:

I got around mostly by foot this week, and walked just under 50 miles. However, I also learned how to use the metro and train station for the first time.

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

The most interesting place I visited was the museums in Florence. On the first day of every month, museums in Florence offer free entry. On February 1, My friends and I went to the Museo del Bargello and the Galleria dell’Accademia di Firenze, which is where the Statue of David is located. They were both so impressive. I find it interesting how rich the history, art, and architecture are in Europe. We don’t have anything like it back in Fort Wayne!

Other Travel News from this week:

Using the main train station in Florence, Santa Maria Novella, was a bit of a culture shock for me. Allison and I arrived early for our train (about 30 minutes) because we expected some sort of security and ticket check.
