My first time in Italy

Gelato three times

Many, many stairs up the Duomo



Amazing views at the Villa



Jazz club and Prosecco
Kitty-decorated hostel


Blueberry steak is delicious

Reading Week

This past week was Reading Week at Goldsmiths, where we had no classes and go to do what we pleased! Most people I know went galavanting around Europe...but I stayed here where I was visited by my fabulous parents!

We ate in fabulous restaurants (English gastropub, fish 'n' chips, Indian, Italian, Dim Sum...), got our historical fill at Windsor Castle and Hampton Court, saw the amazing Billy Elliot and walked all over the place!

They left this morning and I miss them already! But I know these next five weeks are going to go by super fast...
