I was very sad to leave Berlin but I had promised to visit a friend of mines in Dortmund so I packed my bags and hit the Bahn.de to go west.
Dortmund was a very interesting city. I saw many people from diverse ethnic backgrounds, discovered that the McDonalds in Germany offers Bubble Tea (boba!), and that beer was very, very popular. Johann, my friend, did his best to show me around but there's not so much you can do when the weather is 10 degrees Celsius.
The next day, we took a day trip to Cologne to see il duomo di Colonio c: I love being able to see the works of art that I study. I had just finished up gothic art and architecture the Tuesday before Fall Break so being able to see German gothic art with my own two eyes was astonishing. As much fun as being able to see Dortmund and Cologne were, I have to say that I loved Berlin the most.

But my adventure in Germany had to come to and end...and I had to resume my Italian adventure! I flew into Milano and decided to spend the night and day with my friend Michelle c: Seeing a familiar face in a foreign country is very refreshing. Milano wasn't my favorite city (it was cold and rainy) but her face definitely brightened up my day. Love you Michelle! <3 When the weather sucks, all you want to do is stay in bed, eat ice cream, and watch sappy movies. It was one of those days. But we managed to get out of the house, see il duomo a Milano, do a little shopping, and I got to spin on the Bull's testicles for good luck! c: There was so much to do, yet so little time...looks like I'll have to make my way back up to Milan another day!

As much fun as my Fall Break adventure was, you have no clue how happy I was to arrive back in Firenze. As soon as I stepped off the train, a smile stretched across my face. I didn't care about the pouring rain or how cold it was, I was just too excited to be back. Firenze is home and home is where the <3 is.
