Well, I got convinced to start a Facebook to trade pictures and stay in contact with some of the friends I've made on this trip, which is running down to its last few days ( Read more... )

I've lived in Italy for about a month and a half now and I'm starting to really adjust to some of the differences. I've been taking note of them and I think they're interesting ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a long day, indeed. It really makes me realize how little about this trip I write on my live journal. If I included in detail what my days were like, I would be writing a novel. I've gained in just six weeks at least a year of life, if not more. Not only have I seen things I never imagined, but I've had to deal with and witness events ( Read more... )

The weather was starting to turn sour as we arrived in Monte Cassino, the oldest church in Christendom. The church sat atop a mountain which overlooked the surrounding area for miles. There we toured the museum and attended mass ( Read more... )

The ruins of Paestum are probably the best preserved Greek ruins in the world. The word Paestum comes from a Greek word, which relates to Poseidon, the patron god of the ancient city. There are also Roman ruins here, built after the area was taken over by them later on ( Read more... )

One of the most beautiful places I've yet to see has to be the island of Capri. It was a wonderland of sights. We took a ship there and were allowed to have eight hours of free time on the island before returning back to Sorrento. This would be the trip's dream vacation.

Pompeii rests near Naples. Most of the images from the last post were taken from the ruins of Pompeii. It was a long day for all of us.

Also, the internet ( Read more... )

I'm separating this entry from the next one because it is not safe for work. The inhabitants of Pompeii were very dirty people, apparently, but I wanted to post up the art anyway. So be warned.

Also, I really don't have much to say about a lot of this work. We went through rather quickly. So not all will be captioned.

Assisi Haiku,

I've now been in Italy for a little over a month and I'm starting to feel the burn. On the plus side, I'm starting to get along with the other students a little better. On the downside, I'm not getting along with the professors as well. Because of the drama that's happened this year on top of the already enthreatened program, we're all treated ( Read more... )
