Ravenna (Read also: Dante)

I haven't posted anything in awhile. I know, I get it, trust me. I'm sorry, but I haven't been exploring much lately :P
On the bright side, I went to Ravenna and Rimini this weekend with my fellow CIS people and I remembered my camera! I didn't take any pictures really in Rimini because it was kind of a touristy beach town....it kind of reminds me of somewhere in Florida. The hotel was nice, but I never once thought that I was in Italy while there. The shower was amazing though.
Alright, y'all just want to see the pictures and I really want to post them, so no more chitchat on my part besides this disclaimer: there are a lot of pictures of the same things, so just bear with me. Also, if it looks like gold, then it's gold. It's all real 18 karat gold.
Love and miss you guys!

The only food picture I have! It's a piadina with prosciutto. It kind of tastes like a pancake, but it's more of a flatbread kind of thing. It was pretty good, but super filling.
