SPRING BREAK : Italy Tour - Itinerary

As this is not as general as my other Spring Break posts have been, I've gotten a few requests to share where exactly I'm going and what sights I'll be visiting with my group. I am traveling with 40 students and chaperons to tour Italy and perform 3 times at churches throughout the countries. We will have a tour guide and private coach bus with us throughout the entire journey, guiding us through the cities and giving us insightful information about locations. 

When I get back, I will (hopefully) have a more detailed list of where we visited with pictures from those locations. I am super excited to share this journey with you!
