sorrento and positano

We went to some beautiful places this weekend. It was a perfect way to spend the last weekend of the program. We went to the beach in cilento ( which was fabulous because its been really hot in Italy lately). Then we went to sorrento and a day trip to positano. It was so relaxing ( for the most part) and we had some really great food. This is def. a place i would like to visit again some day. I also got shoes made for me in positano which ive never experience before. .. my feet are very happy ;)

After Program Plans

Since I am no longer traveling with the person I was supposed to travel with after the program I have to force myself upon two other girls staying after the program. So the plans is to go to Barcelona for 3 days and then paris for three days and then head back to Rome for 2 days till I can fly back to Texas. I am excited about going to Barcelona and Paris but im honestly very home sick at the moment. I just wanna hug from my family and some free ac.. is that too much to ask :) I know i will enjoy the extra week so im just focusing on fun things till then

Time Flys

I cant believe that after this weekend we have less than two weeks left here. The first week felt so long but once the first week was out of the way time has flown by. I have had a great time here so far and ive learned a a lot; not only about myself but about others and dealing with others. Also, Ive learned a lot about traveling. By week three, I have taken every form of public transportation offered in Rome. Those include tram, bus, metro, train, mini bus, cab, and car. Now all I have to do is find a person willing to drive me around on their vespa :) cross your fingers for me .

Carravaggio/Bernini

Monday
- We went to see the famous churches where some of cavaggio's most famous works are held. I was really excited to see them in person.  He is my favorite artist we have studied so far.


 Wednesday ( today)
- We went to see the Extasy of St. Theresa which is one of Bernini's most famous works.

Lovely Morning

A bird(or multiple birds judging on the amount of poop) pooped on me today. It was horrible because it wasnt just a little bit. It got on my leg, foot and three spots on my skirt. Needless to say, I was freaking out a bit. Everyone tired to be encouraging by telling me it was good luck. But lets be honest, none of them would be okay if they had to walk around all day with crap on their skirt
