I went on a little trip with my new friend Valentina. She had invited me to go and see the city of Bergamo with her, so away we went.
Bergamo is a city thats been around since the middle ages, is what my family told me. It was absolutely beautiful. There are two parts of the city. The lower, is more modern. A typical busaling city. While the Upper is much older but still just as buisy. Mainly with tourists. You would not believe the benifits of being shown around in a small group. Instead of being in a huge group and seeing only what the tour permits. I got to explore all the random nooks and cranys with Valentina. It was great.

Here is the clock tower
in the lower part of the
in the lower part of the
city. So pretty
This is the lower part of the city from the gate to the upper part. You'll have to forgive me but I didn't take any pictures of the HUGE staircase we had to climb to get up here. I also neglected to take pictures of the gate its self. Which was very beautiful, with a lion with wings engraved on it. Valentina explained to me that it represented the town and the word of God.

This was just a random street that led to the middle of the upper city. I just thought it was pretty.
This isnt the center of the town but it is just
so old and beautiful I had to take a picture.

Now at first Valentina and I thought this was a church. But when we went inside it wasn't. But we're not sure what it is... Its still absolutely beaustiful
