Today we had orientation, got our internet for the school hooked up, got our cell phones, took a little mini-tour of the city, and met with the graduate students from JMU. The tour was beautiful. The buildings are so neat and the little shops are so cute! The first picture is of Ponte Vecchio and the second picture is from the back of the Duomo. I still don't know much about any of the buildings, but I'm sure I will learn all about them. The weather was perfect for walking around the city--mid-50s and sunny (much better than at home!) Classes start tomorrow--I have Italian, Modern Renaissance Art, and Politics of the EU. Although I am not typically a big fan of classes, I think I'm going to like them this semester :)
So glad to hear the tour went well and that the weather has at least started off nice! Hope it's just like that, or a bit warmer, when we get there...love you...
ReplyDeleteI hope you've got a BIG card in your camera! You're going to be taking millions of pictures as you travel around. Looking forward to your next upload - and keep me posted on side trips after March 19! I envy you the Italian classes - you'll be fluent by the time we get there! Enjoy you day, Love you .....
