Sorry it's been so long! Busy busy busy (well not with school, but we'll get to that later)! So I spent one more weekend with my parents in Rome!
Okay There are my parents! This is them outside the trevi fountain putting their coins in, in hopes they will return to Italy one day! I'm sure they will! They had a fabulous time. While we were in Rome we saw the Pantheon, the Forum, the Colosseum, the Trevi fountain, the Spanish Stairs, Vatican City, and much more!In case you were wondering how big the columns at the Forum are here is a little photo that can you give a scale view of them: 
. There I hope that was helpful! Okay we also got to eat dinner at a fabulous restaurant near the Colosseum the first night we were there: 
. So here it is at night, they use it to broadcast ads off of. No joke! Don't worry we visited it during the day when there were no ads, and Dad and I had a disagreement on whether the gladiator should live or die: 
. That happens though. He would ultimately win because women didn't really count and they had to stand on the top tear of the Colosseum along with "slaves and foreigners." Emma and her friend also came in for the weekend and we had a huge Italian dinner the last night we were all there. Sorry, I didn't get any pictures of the food this time. Rome was fun, a little dirty, but very fun!

Rome was fun, a little dirty, but very fun! The following weekend. After my parents left, I headed back to Verona for some intense class. We really did have class at least 3 days! That weekend my friend Brittany and I headed to Sweden for the weekend! Whoo! 
It was fun to go to somewhere completely different than Italy! Sweden was really nice, and though this picture doesn't do it justice the weather wasn't that bad! In Sweden we went to the Nobel Prize Museum, The Palace, The August Strimberg Museum (Brittany is a theatre major), did some shopping and of course got a drink at the Absolut Ice Bar!!

That's Me in my Absolut Ice Bar coat and furry hood. You have to wear them in the bar to keep your body temperature up, and they are specially designed to release only a small portion of heat to keep the bar at temperature. Behind me you can see the cups made of ice on the bar, and the bartender wearing a furry hat! It was a lot of fun! We also ate some delicious Swedish meatballs and tried Reindeer! Yum!Okay so those have been the adventure for the past few weeks! This weekend I am going on a group trip to Asiago which is where they make Asiago cheese. Yay! Cheese factory!
Hope all is well with everyone! Stay safe!
Love,
Heather
