Our final day in Rome covered all the areas in which our trip had been lacking. It was slow-paced, provided us with some time to explore on our own, and was completely relaxing after a whole week of sprinting around from tour site to tour site. We slept in, had breakfast, and enjoyed an easy … Continue reading Italy HS – I had an inexplicable feeling of connectedness with Rome by Karissa Barrera
What a relaxing day! We spent the day at the park and went to one of the tour guides hometown. At the park, I had a great time rowing boats (obviously needing practice) and walking around the park. I also got to do some more shopping near the hotel, getting some nifty shirts and souvenirs. … Continue reading Italy HS – I am appreciative and thankful for this trip by Corey Yeung

We got to sleep in a little … Continue reading Italy HS – Tonight was the icing on the cake to a trip I will never forget! by Austin Oates
Florence was so much fun – it was one of my favorite days! We got to see such a pretty city. Everything had a Renaissance touch! We got to see the Santa Maria del Fiore!

It was gorgeous with its artistic patterns … Continue reading Italy HS – One-Day Tour in Florence by Corey Yeung
Today we had to opportunity to go to Florence. We woke up extra early so we could reach the bullet train on time.

It was a two hour ride there and when we finally reached … Continue reading Italy HS – A day in Florence by Amanca Fosbrook
After a two hour speed-train ride, we finally made it to Florence with Jill, our tour-guide. The most amazing, mind blowing churches I have ever laid eyes on are in Florence. The churches in Florence were said to be bland on the inside but so specifically detailed on the outside. This is quite the … Continue reading Italy HS – The most amazing churches I have laid eyes on are in Florence by Lisa Nguyen
Today marks our 1st week in Espana! The time has gone by so fast, so what can I say about this beautiful place. First off I’m completely in love with the structure of the building and the lights in the Plaza Mayor! It’s something you have to see for yourself because the pictures don’t do … Continue reading Spain – Can't believe it's already been a week! by Krystal Wagner
Another tiring day, but I couldn’t have asked to see anything more amazing! Our first stop was the Victor Emmanuel monument. Personally, I think it is a beautiful structure but apparently the Romans dislike it because of its gaudy style! Oh, and that equestrian statue in the front is large enough for 21 men to … Continue reading Italy HS – I couldn't have asked to see anything more amazing! by Austin Oates
Today is day 6 of this amazing 3 week adventure. I don’t even know where to start. Estudio Sampere has some of the best teachers, besides professor Levin, I have ever had. The discussions in class help your American tongue speak Spanish! It is so amazing. Everyone is willing to help you whether it is … Continue reading Spain – Viva Espana!! by Victoria Reis
