Fano!

Today was supposed to be the trip to Florence, but because of the crazy high cost, we went to the beach in Fano instead. Charlotte and I were so proud of ourselves for figuring out the buses in Italian. Go team! We even had to switches buses at some random bus stop in Calmezzo or something and we didn't get lost. Woot! The only problem was that I got CRAZY motion sick. The roads are so windy and there was a lot of stop-and-go thoughout Fano, so when I got off the bus I was not feeling well. My stomach calmed down after a little bit though, so that was good. The beach was really nice. I think we were supposed to pay at some point...but I'm not really sure? Anyway, it was all rocks, which was pretty cool. We spent a lot of time just lounging in the sun, which was nice. We swam a little bit, too, so I can officially say I went swimming in the Adriatic Sea. Cool! We came back a couple hours earlier than the rest of the group so I could get back to Skype with my parents. On the drive there were huge rock faces that looked sweet! I tried to get some good pictures, but it was pretty difficult. After group dinner at La Lanterna, I got gelato and totally crashed. I didn't even realize how tired I was, but I got back to my room at around 10:30 and fell asleep with my glasses on, headphones in, and a half played game of solitaire on the screen of my iPod.
