Blog Slacking

I have so rudely forgotten to keep up with the blog posts so hopefully everyone has been keeping track via facebook or just bookmarking my picasa page. The last two weeks have been absolutely gorgeous....from Rome back to Florence to Venice back to Florence. Could not have asked for better weather right now. I also managed to stay away from a plague-like flu that took down half our group (including our professor) right before or during the Venice trip. Venice was absolutely amazing in so many different ways....check out the pictures. Got a bit homesick this week with some not so great news, but I miss you all who are close to me and can't wait to see your faces in a couple weeks in July. Ciao.

The Present

Two days from now I will be on my way across the Atlantic: Pittsburgh to Charlotte to Madrid and eventually sometime around noon on Friday I will be arriving in Barcelona. Spending a few days in Spain before heading back to Florence for Dr. Medicus' program and some thesis research. I have a lot of work to get done this summer but there is nowhere else in the world I'd rather spend the next two months than Italy. Goodbye Ohio.
