Day 14
--------------I thought I would finally the rest of my trip to Italy, even though it was more than a year ago. I was getting too fed up with horrible internet connection we had during the trip so I just wrote my posts in a word document instead of putting it on here. Even though it's over 14 months later, I wanted to finish off my travel "journal."

We all slept in today so we missed breakfast as it finishes at 9:30. We
went out to see if some shops are open. After stopping at many tobacco stores,
I finally found one that sold a calling card so I could call the bank and sort
out my debit card. I went back to the payphone and it took 20 minutes to
actually get the payphone to work, but I got through to TD and they explained
that my I needed to increase my limit which can only be done in Canada, so I
can only take out a certain amount of euros a day. I am just so relieved that
my debit card is working and I can take out money! Kylee and Shannon went to
the other pool to go tanning, and Kelly and I stayed back and went to a
restaurant to get pizza. I also got some confetti candy to take home as a
souvenir. We went back to the hotel and sat in the sun and read with the other
people who didn’t go to the pool. Since it was a nice day, Kelly and I decided
to go for a bike ride and used the bikes available at the hotel. We were out
for about 45 minutes as it was extremely hot and just went around an area we
hadn’t explored yet.
We came back and I skyped home as it was Mothers Day and
then called my Nana who was surprised to hear from me. Then Justin, Shannon, Kylee and I got watermelon gelato and
came back to make a card for the teachers for Mothers Day. Then a few of us
went out and got some confetti candy for souvenirs. First course was just regular pasta with penne noodles, and
then second course was chicken! This was the first chicken we have had since we
have been in Sulmona, and even though it was dry it was delicious! For dessert
we had chocolate cheesecake again.
