Learning About the Flexible Borders Between Italy and The Vatican by Jacob Ward

The first day in Italy for us was somewhat extreme. After getting off an 8 hour flight we rushed out of the airport to get to the hotel and eat dinner. Once finished we walked to The Vatican and toured St.Peters Basilica, attending mass and walking to the very top floor. Then we came back … Continue reading Learning About the Flexible Borders Between Italy and The Vatican by Jacob Ward

Studying in Rome: The Bucket List by Sara-Kay West

Today was yet another magnificent day in the life of an Italian: I woke up and actually began my coffee habit! I had a few sips to wake me up, not enough to actually finish an entire cup (tazza), but enough to keep me awake and engaged in class.

Walking, history, more walking, soccer. by Sydney Merritt

Today, we did so much that I can hardly remember it. After class, we went to a bakery for lunch, and then most of us made our way to the market to pick up various — mostly extremely unfamiliar — things. I really like just walking through the streets here. It’s easier to accept the … Continue reading Walking, history, more walking, soccer. by Sydney Merritt

Dodge Challenger’s Big Italy Adventure: The First Encounter by Eritha Cainion

This trip to Italy is a big step out of my comfort zone. Before now, I’d never set foot on a plane; imagine my excitement (terror). Stepping onto my first plane, my body almost went into shock. I couldn’t stop my limbs from trembling. I took my seat next to the window, with a view … Continue reading Dodge Challenger’s Big Italy Adventure: The First Encounter by Eritha Cainion
