Arrividerci Rome, Bonjour Paris!

My sisters got us messed up with the time-- they forgot to put the clock ahead and we thought it was an hour earlier than it was. It was still ok though. We got on our tour bus. We took more pictures of a place with a bunch of statues, the steps of Plazza Venizia, the tomb of the unknown...

When in Rome... Do as the tanned sisters do!

We had to get up really early this morning (around 4) to get our flight to Rome. Our flight was pretty good but I wasn't feeling well. We got to Rome and I started to feel better. We walked to our hostel from the train station. It's called Pink Floyd and we walk through a nice garden to get...

Tosta, eh?

I should be doing my assignment right now, but my brain just doesn’t want to think in Italian at the moment. I am supposed to make up a short fable about a character in Rome, and all I have so far is that there is going to be an owl flying around the city at night, doing what…I haven’t quite...

Molti Informazioni

I want to start off by letting everyone know that the earthquake didn't do any damage here in Rome. It didn't even wake me up. So don't worry about me! Last week was kind of a blur. We started classes on Monday as well as our internships. My group didn't do much in the way of work. We...

Arrivederci, Italia

The train journey from Verona to Ancona began through drizzly and unexciting fields. Then, a short time before we reached our destination, we hit the coast and ran beside it for the remainder of the way. Heavy apartment buildings and small beach huts obscured the sea view for much of the way,...

In Fair Verona

The train arrived into Verona a couple of hours after dawn into a misty and damp climate. Whilst I was still in the station it started to rain heavily, and so I settled into a cafe and waited - thankfully this station was mildly better equiped than the last. I eventually resolved to make my...

I primi giorni, the first days

Well, I have finally made it to Rome and gotten settled in enough to update you on my life… Wednesday morning I woke up at 4:00am. I forgot for a second why I was awake, and then remembered, oh yeah, I’m flying to Italy for three months. Wade (my brother) took me to the airport and saw me...

At home at last (well my new home for the next few weeks)

The flight from Dubai to Rome was enjoyable. I had a great chat (partially in Italian and partially in English) with Andre who is a ship builder in Napoli, but soon to move to Palermo in Sicily. I had decided to try and stay awake until I arrived in Alghero so after finishing chatting with...
