It feels like yesterday I was posting about leaving the US for a semester to live, study, and eat in Florence, Italy. But, this is my last post from abroad (I’ll continue to post pictures when I return). It was much such an amazing semester, better than I ever imagined. I traveled a lot: Napels, Pom ...

So this title sounds like an album title on facebook. :/ Anyway but it really describes this picture and my semester. As I have said before my host family lives about two blocks away from the Duomo, therefore I tend to meet people there and spend time around it. From there we often go to Santa Croce ...

So to continue my posts about food in Italy I’m posting a collage of some of my different food (cibo) pictures (I’ll actually post the spice pictures at a later time because they’re some of my favorites I have taken.) To make this collage I used the collage option on picasa 3 and mixed the pictures ...

So during my over night trip to Rome we did an Ancient Rome walk where we began at the Colosseum, walked through the Roman Forum (I sat where they place Julius Ceaser’s Body, the oldest thing I have touched) and ended at the Pantheon. Here are some pictures from that walk in order of the walk. Poste ...

Europe does a really nice job lighting their monuments. I’ve noticed in Florence I always end up near these monuments late at night and they’re always so well lit. It’s made me really focus on improving the steadiness of my hands when taking shots. (Also, using things around me as a temporary tri-po ...

Have you eaten Italian food? I have to say it’s the best food I have ever eaten. We begin every night usually with a pasta dish followed by meet with vegetables or potatoes. But the best part of it all, is that there are little markets where food vendors come and sell food items. A little over a wee ...

I know what you’re thinking… “ another Duomo post? really?” Well, yes. I do live two blocks away from it and is an incredible piece of architecture and Brunelleschi worked hard to earn the commission for the cupola. So to visit it once again, instead of just focusing on it’s exterior my friends and ...

So I’m returning briefly to the pictures of my Paris trip with more pictures of the Eiffel Tower. One my favorite thing about the Eiffel Tower was not how it looked from far a way but it’s iron detailing as you approach it. I also love standing over it and turning around and around in circles as I l ...

There are two words I don’t like…”no foto” (“no photo” always appears under them). I have never seen them so much in my until I began to enter churches in Italy (and Museums). Many places in the US the signs say “no flash”, which I completely understand (I don’t like the flash anyway). The flash has ...
