over the course of the past two weeks we have managed to pack in molte attività including:
- an italian national team game against slovenia – which we won with a clutch goal in the 85th minute! forza italia!
- a day trip to cinque terre – an unesco world heritage site comprised of 5 beautiful coastal towns
- a hike to the top of la montagna di fiesole – where leonardo da vinci is believed to have tested some of his flying machines
- and of course, amazing meals!
i was also lucky enough to attend a few lectures on middle eastern history and art history at one of the old palaces in florence. the conference room was in all likelihood a repurposed ballroom and provided quite the setting for enlightened discussion.
this upcoming week i will also have much to report on
- art history class will be in florence tomorrow, as every other week our lectures take place in the local chapels, churches and museums
- georgetown is partially subsidizing a tuscan cooking class tomorrow night!
- friday we are taking a field trip to the towns of arezzo and urbino to look at more art first hand
i hope that you all are having fun back in dc and across the states. write me and tell me what you all are up to per favore!
Sounds awesome. Beautiful photos, miss you!
