I can’t say that I want to go home in the slightest, but some downtime would be perfect! Today we are headed to the United States Embassy of the Holy See (the Vatican). For lunch , I had a tuna salad with real tuna, not the canned junk, along with beans, carrots, and celery in … Continue reading Embassy of the Holy See by Cassidy Slockett
After breakfast, we talked about international relations at school and headed back to the hotel for a few minutes to put school stuff away before entering the Vatican. It was a bit of a line to get inside Saint Peter’s Basilica. We started climbing… 551 stairs. Luckily for me, it wasn’t too bad because I’m … Continue reading Worth the View… by Cassidy Slockett
Week two is coming to an end. A day trip to Segovia via bus. On the ride we all chat it up and swop out sandwiches from our Mamas like grade/middle school. It makes you feel young and reminisce the younger days, though for some of our group it’s much more recent then others. We … Continue reading An update from Spain by Melissa Rose
Today was a busy day; incredibly busy. The day started off with a nice cup of English tea and some yogurt. We then boarded the bus and went to the Train Station. It was my first time on a bullet train, and I was surprised. Our average speed was 243 km/h. The most unpleasant part … Continue reading Firenze! by Cassidy Slockett
Class was interesting. The University was a long hike to get to. I didn’t mind because it is perfect outside. No humidity and a slight breeze. It feels like 70 degrees outside. We had a great discussion on religion and opinions about religion. I had a great time and afterward, we headed to the cafeteria … Continue reading Rome: The Eternal City by Cassidy Slockett

Salamanca has been such a great city to attend school daily and visit the cathedrals, plaza and shops. The smaller towns outside are worth the trip. We visited the famous Spanish castle, Alcazar de … Continue reading Segovia y Avila by Jaclyn Jardine
Well we are finally back home from our trip to Denmark. Although I am glad to be home, I will miss all of the great people we met. We were met with great hospitality from multiple students in the Denmark vet tech program. They showed us Danish culture, took us to national monuments, and let … Continue reading Back home! by Cora Jones
When we left the school in Kolding we headed to Arhus. Our host had three lovely boxers. We were surprised they are not on the restricted breed list in Denmark seeing as many muscle dogs are. We went to her sister’s graduation/birthday party which was mostly family, and some friends. Graduations are very important in … Continue reading In other words… Farewell Denmark! by Casey Kiernan
Da vi forlod skolen i Kolding, tog vi mod Århus. Vores vært havde tre dejlige boxere. Vi blev overrasket over at de ikke er på listen over forbudte hunderacer i Danmark, som så mange andre muskelhunde er. Vi tog til hendes søsters studenterfest, hvor det var mest familie og lidt venner. At blive student er … Continue reading Farvel Danmark! by Casey Kiernan
Something I had never had before coming to Italy: gelato! Favorite Roman Architecture: St. Peter’s Basilica Why I like it– put me into an absolute awe when I walked in; the amount of detail put into everything as well as the mathematical proportions done to make you feel like a doll in a dollhouse are … Continue reading Scavenger hunt! by Mikayla Bridges
