My two favorite moments were watching sunset from the top of Brunelleschi’s dome, and our time at Castello DI Bossi. My favorite activities were watching the glass blowing at the glass cathedral, and the incredible tour we got at the Palazzo Colona
Best fun was spending the day with Marillia's family to get a real authentic Greek experience. My personal favorite was going to St. Andreas in Patras and seeing the relics of the apostle Andrew.
My favorite moment was spending the day with Marilia's family. As much as I love history and the building arts (and all the sites we saw left a huge impact on me) that day with her family we got the most greek experience possible, and that was very special.
There was never a bad moment. Getting guided through St. Marks square when we first got to Venice was amazing. climbing the Duomo, having free time to walk around th shops before dinner in all the cities. The Sienna museum.
