I made the jump:) ...and went to Milano!

Milano. It was a cool day trip there, just spent the day walking around. It's starting to feel like summer here (not too mention soo humid) but I loved it anyways.
So I did something a little crazy this weekend that I thought I would never do....this was the view from the top of the bridge where I BUNGEE JUMPED!


And this is how high it is! I didn't expect it to be this high but when you traveled all day to get there, it was hard to back out. Isn't it so green and pretty?
This is me getting suited up for the jump...it was my roommate and I who went and I was the first to jump so I didn't really know what to expect. And we couldn't really ask them a whole lot because it was broken english/lots of Italian. But I was really nervous especially on the platform because they had to tell me to let go of the pole because I had a death grip on it!
Tre, due, uno... I JUMPED! Thankfully my roommate brittany is awesome at taking pictures and got me right when I jumped! I still can't believe I did it! I kinda look like I am flying :)
This is me just dangling around. It was so fun and is definitely the craziest thing I've ever done but I thought with it being my last weekend in Italia, I had to do something I would always remember. When in Italia right?
I survived! And I loved it. Honest I don't know if I would do it again because on the way down (the free falling part) I almost had a heart attack with it being a little scary but I am still glad I did it. Also it was the most expensive 4.5 seconds of my life and it took lots of train rides to get here but I am lucky to even have this experience! One week left in Florence and then I am home! I can't wait to see everyone! Have a nice day!
