Staying In Paganico

Yesterday we came back from Paganico. There was a lot of wildlife and animals🐶🌲 there, including red deer🦌, katanegra pigs🐖, pheasants, and lizards🦎. We had a fun dinner and there was a lot of good views. The cons were that the old dog🐕 we had the last few years, Jovy, and his owner had moved, as well as there was a lot of stupid mosquitoes🦟 that gave me some huge, nasty bites, and there we’re the occasional wasps🐝. Overall, it was a cool experience.

Nico: Athens #2 Acropolis day/cold day/Parthenon day

Today was our second day in Athens. Me and Luca’s AC worked too w lol and we got SUPER cold 🥶. That is us looking grumpy at breakfast.

That is us walking to the acropolis. The second pic is a statue of some famous guy who lived in Athens.

That is the theater of Dionysus. Dionysus is the god of theatre.

We went to some old temple that I forgot what it is called.

That, of course is the Parthenon. It was really beautiful.

That is a statue of a hunting dog . we saw it at the acropolis museum.

Overall, I think that was a really fun day.

Rome, Lecce, Ostuni, and Alberobello

We arrived at Rome a few days a go. It seemed so familiar. The day later we went to Lecce, and today we explored Ostuni and Alberobello. We ate horse🐴 and tripe🐄. It was fun, but mom got sick🤢.

Life In Athens

Today was are first morning in Athens, Greece🇬🇷, and it’s awesome👏! We we’re all sort of grumpy😡, because we went to sleep😴 at 1:00🕐, and the air conditioner was a little too good🥶. Then we walked to the Acropolis. There we’re a lot of street cats🐱, and it was pretty hot🥵. But it was really good. We saw the sacred olive tree🌳, the theater of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine🍷, and the acropolis museum. Then lunch🥙. We had squid🦑, octopus🐙, fried anchovies🐟, bread🍞, and spaghetti🍝.

Nico: Exploring Day (Barcelona #2)

We went to the market in the morning to get breakfast. I got mango and Jamon Iberico, which is pork.

We walked around a bit after that and went exploring. That's why the title is called exploring day.
In this picture me and Luca are standing in front of Casa Batlo which was made by a famous architect named Gaudi. Casa means 'house' in spanish.

After exploring some more me and Luca found a big statue of King Kong. Dad took a picture of us sitting next to him.

That is a more up-close picture of Casa Batlo.

We tried to see one of the most popular landmarks in Barcelona, La Sagrada Familia, but we couldn't get in. That is me, dad and Luca walking towards it.

When mom and dad went on their honeymoon they also went to Barcelona. We are standing next to the hotel they stayed in.

At the end of the day, we went to a place called Ale-Hop and I tried on some animal masks. That is the cow mask.
