I've been to Italy!

"I just wanna be able to say that I have lived my life"

"Immortal" - Marina And The Diamonds

We went to Italy on a school trip two weeks ago, and it was fantastic! We went from Bologna to Rome through Pisa, Firenze (Florence) and Siena in five days and then came back to Spain.

So, for today's task (as if it wasn't typical to turn special occasions to tasks), we had to choose a photo from the ones we took during our trip (from that whole lot of selfies and lamely focused pics, I mean) as our favorite and explain it.

The photo I chose is from Florence, and it portrays the base of the street lamps near the river Arno. We had just arrived to Firenze in the morning when we walked near the river and saw it. To be honest, I took my time to notice that detail in the street lamps, but once I saw it, it was amazing!

The reason why I chose this picture and not, for example, one of the Duomo of Siena (which I also loved because of the lines that paint it, which make a really amazing effect), is that I found it curious and awesome. Some of my classmates said it was slightly spooky or even creepy, but I think it's the best thing I've seen in my entire life: I think putting lion legs to street lamps was a great idea and definitely something beautiful and curious for people to see.

So, definitely, whenever I'm reminded of this trip to Italy, the first thing that will come to my mind is the base of the street lamps near the river Arno in Firenze (I realise how weird this sounds like, though)!
