Sunday, an early wake up and a late lay down. We woke up and went straight to the train station where Joshy showed us off. An hour and a half ride on the bullet train and we were now in Florence. Such a beautiful city, packed with beautiful things and full of history as well. … Continue reading Florence: Leather and David by Cheyenne Lake
Florence was a rough day for everybody. We woke up early and took an hour-long train ride. In the train station we met Rafaela, who was our guide for the day. She told us our schedule for the day, and we were disappointed that we would not get to see the statue of David or … Continue reading Our day in Florence by Lily Gayton
Today, to switch things up, we went to Florence. We got up early and went to a train station that can only be described as hectic. If I spoke Italian it would probably be less confusing, but since I don’t, I was very confused. A little lesson I learned on this trip is that I … Continue reading A Day in Florence by Mikayla Bridges

One of my favorite parts of visiting the churches is seeing the huge church organs. I am a piano player, and I have always wanted to play one of those. We were … Continue reading Michelangelo, You Never Cease to Amaze Me! by Lily Gayton

As we complete our first week in the fully Spanish immersion program, we all are speaking and using our rapidly growing vocabulary and grammar skills. I myself, am becoming a new found Football fan, and I don’t mean the typical football of American sorts…where hands, tackles, and touchdowns are used; but the most popular one … Continue reading First week terminar by Melissa Rose
So we are now in a new town staying with a different Danish student. She picked us up yesterday from the Veterinary Technician school in Kolding, where we had a tour of the school and a BBQ.

Today was the real beginning to the end of our trip. We are finished with class, so we started the day at 8 and with the tours.

We went to see the Trevi Fountain, and it didn’t even … Continue reading Some more life lessons from Rome by Mikayla Bridges
