Laura and Drew's Adventures in Italy

In and around Italy

We are two college students who have been dating for almost 4 years! We spend the school year attending two different colleges and don't see each other very much. Laura wanted to do a study abroad program, but neither of us wanted to be apart during the summer -- so, Drew decided he would apply too, and now we are both studying abroad in beautiful Firenze (Florence), Italy for 6 weeks! We'll be spending some time before and after the program dates in Rome, and during the program we plan on taking weekend trips to many fabulous sites in Italy, such as Venice, Le Cinque Terre, Pompei, and many more places! It will be quite an adventure, and we are so excited to begin this "summer of a lifetime"!
