The Best Trip of My Life
Last summer, I had the best trip of my life. I traveled to Italy with my best friend. We visited Rome, Venice, and Florence. In Rome, we saw the Colosseum and ate delicious pizza. Venice was amazing because we took a boat ride on the canals. Florence had beautiful art and museums.
We stayed in small hotels and met many friendly people. We also tried new foods and learned some Italian words. The weather was perfect, and the views were incredible.
I will never forget this trip. Traveling is a great way to learn and have fun!
