Since the beginning of this year, it felt like school was going 100mph without any breaks. Along the way, I caught the flu leaving me with 103 degrees fever and staying in bed for days. I’m happy to say that I’m glad that’s over now. In celebrating the end of chaos, my classmates and I went yesterday for the day in Bergamo. We got lucky with the weather as it was warm and absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t have asked for a better day than what we had yesterday.

We started our day taking the bus and then, walking up a hill in uptown area of Bergamo. A local told us that Castello San Vigilio area was a must see for a good photo taking spot. Yes it was pretty hilly and a good walk but, the view was well worth it. 

This is us walking up the hill.This is us walking down now from the hill. Le Mura di Citta AltaLe Mura di Citta AltaCity center: Piazza VecchiaCity Center: Piazza VecchiaCity Center:Piazza VecchiaCity Center:Piazza VecchiaCity Center:Piazza VecchiaCity Center: Piazza VecchiaA local dessert. I thought it was too sweet but, it was good to try. It’s basically a cake with lots of sugar on the outside and then a bit of chocolate mousse inside. We stumbled upon L’Apetitoso restaurant in the city center because of their interesting interior. Then, we checked out their menu and next thing we knew we were having burgers, brisket and polenta. I’m glad this was one of those places we accidentally found because the meals were delicious.You must see the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. The interior is grand!We ended the day having an aperitivo.
