　　A

　　Surprisingly, at our last night in Florence, Italy, we ate at a Mexican restaurant. We packed

　　our bags and the next morning we headed for Rome. Along the way, we stopped in San Gimignano and Siena. San Gimignano was a hilly town with beautiful scenery. We walked along the streets, took pictures, and headed for Siena. We found that Siena was the most beautiful place we had visited. Besides the beautiful scenery, the town offered many restaurants and hand­made pottery (陶器)．Siena proved to be one of the best places to buy gifts for family members at home.

　　We arrived in Rome late that night and started the next morning with a full­day tour of the city. Our guide was a local who knew about everything there, everything about Rome and its history. We hit all the major sites - the Coliseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, the Vatican, plus much more - and were attracted by all of them. The history of Italy was much more obvious in Rome compared to the other cities we had visited.

　　After our long day in Rome, we headed back to the hotel and left for America at 5：30 the next morning. Our homecoming was both bitter and sweet - we all missed our families and friends, but Italy had become a second home. We loved everything about Italian culture and history, and had truly enjoyed every minute of our trip. It was an enriching experience. Though it was an art trip, we gained much more knowledge. Our job now is to use what we learned and the photographs we took to create an art project for the spring art show.
