The fourth adventure: Amazing Italy!

Dear Flat Mama,

We have been staying with Aunt Becca and Uncle Chris and our cousins Emily and Sarah at their home in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. But there was a special choir concert all the way over in Italy, and so we got to go with them!


When we were leaving the United States the weather was bad and so the airplanes did not fly and so we were stuck for a night at a hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. We went to a restaurant called The Cheesecake Factory for dinner. The cheesecake was delicious. The cheesecake we got had powdered sugar all over the top and a cherry on top. It was cherry cheesecake and it had a chocolate pudding served with it.I wish you could try it.


When we finally got to Italy we stayed at another hotel. Italy is really beautiful. We went to lots of wonderful places. Maybe Paul the Apostle walked in those very same places! After the concert in Florence, we went to a restaurant for dinner. At night the city was beautiful with all the lights.


The Leaning Tower of Pisa was one of my favorite places to go see. It is SO tall! It is tall enough to lean, and it does! That is why it is called The Leaning Tower. It has a big building next to it that is the cathedral. The Leaning Tower is the bell tower of the cathedral. Lots of people visit it every day, so it is very busy. There is a big, grass area on the other side of the street. After we visited the Leaning Tower we played in the grass. I learned some facts about the Leaning Tower: #1 It is 836 years old. #2 To reach the top, you have to climb 294 steps. #3 When they were building it, they had to stop at the 3rd level because it was sinking into the earth.


I am having lots of fun, but I still am still missing you.


Love,


Sunny Flat
