OTIS'S DETAIL ON THE TRIP SO FAR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT

Mila

      The post title was my father's idea. So this has been the trip in further detail: We flew to Milano Centrale. *We call it MILA NO!! Centrale because our cat is named Mila* Then we took a long train ride to Venice. There was no service there and we were looking for a place that had wifi to get directions to the hotel when by some miracle *Chris estimates a 1 and 3000 chance* we found it on the same street about 1/4 of a mile down the street.

            We spent 4 days doing touristy stuff there such as visiting and climbing a tall tower called the Campanile and the bridge of sighs *which is ironic because it's the smallest bridge in Italy* and then headed off to a small town on the coast called Monterosso Al Mare where we bought diving masks. A couple days after we bought them, we went to a rocky beach in a nearby town called Riomaggiore and used the diving masks and saw something like this:

1. About 7 jellyfish
2. A ton of fish



Monterosso Al Mare

3. A 8-inch-long mussel shell
4. Just as you got in (like 5 inches out) there was a huge underwater cliff so all of this was 50 feet or so underwater

The next day, we took a train to Rome and visited our friends but all we did there was 5 days of walking around. We did the same thing in Florence where we stayed just 3 nights. *I have a fitbit. The last day in Florence, I broke my stepping record: 31,156* Then we drove to Tuscany in a rental car. Our hotel there had a pool that we swam in *a lot* and I invented a game called Leefle. My great great Aunt, Nikki de Saint Phalle was a famous sculptor and we visited one of her sculpture gardens. That day was 97 degrees and EXTREMELY sunny. Just yesterday, we returned our car and took yet another train to a place near Naples called Piano Di Sorrento where we have a beautiful hotel near a beach.
