Hello from Florence everyone! It has been way too long since I have updated and I have so much to tell everyone. Last I left off I was in Barcelona. We really all just chilled on the beach and relaxed. On our last night we went to the Plaza de Espana and saw the fountain there with the amazing light show. It was magnificent (I am running out of words to use to describe Europe). The next day we left for Cinque Terre. Let me tell you all what my book says "In the five fishing villages of Cinque Terre, man and nature have worked together in harmony to produce a place that sweetens and soothes the spirit". They were not telling a lie. Cinque Terre is like walking into the middle of a romantic novel description of Italy... it is even more than that. The 5 towns are so beautiful and it is like each one is its own little paradise. We were in the most touristy of the 5 towns in Monterosso. What is cool about Cinque Terre is that you can hike up the mountains to the other villages (other than that you can take a train). We opted to hike and I did not make it very far as I got sick on my way up (I tried!). The whole time I was there I kept thinking of my parents and how much they would adore this place (I hope I can send you there some day). It was amazing. We met up with our friends, Andrea and Lisa, whom we met on the train from Paris to Madrid. They have been a real blast to hang out with and it is funny how we meet people all around Europe and become close. They lived in the smallest of the 5 towns in Riomaggiore. Everyone here is so friendly. Italy is such a rich country with amazing people and once you go it is like you are leaving a piece of yourself there. We really relaxed and enjoyed our time in Cinque Terre. Today we arrived in Florence and we are ready for 2 days of some fast paced sight-seeing. I was fortunate to go to Italy about 4 years ago and I am so happy to be back. We are planning to see the Duomo, Academia, and much more. I will definitely update more while I am here in Italy. Take care all! Ciao!
Here is a letter my uncle wrote to the PM. I hope you all can understand the terror and grief people are experiencing as a result of these attacks... LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER Dear Mr. Prime minister I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mouse. Mouse at least squeak but we don't even do that. Today I heard your speech. In which you said 'NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED'. I would like to remind you that fourteen years has passed since serial bomb blast in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All our bolywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king meets him but your Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him everybody will be exposed. Your statement 'NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED' is nothing but a cruel joke on this unfortunate people of India. Enough is enough. As such af...
