For example, examining the fashion styles in the fashion district of Florence. We've also enjoyed some delicious catered meals by which we can all come ...
Over the past couple of days, I've fully adjusted to the daily routine here in Cádiz. As a group, we have been trying as much Spanish food as we can eat.

Conversation on the planes were a little awkward at first, (as to be expected) but we thought she may have mentioned it. Instead, news didn't reach us until free time on the third day. While strolling through a Greek market, we hear out of nowhere, ...

After saying Gratis to numerous Parisians on the first day, I have finally adjusted. On our first full day, we visited Saint Chapelle, where there are some of the most impressive stain ...
