Melissa's Journey to Italy

Current Location

Florence, Italy

I arrived in Italy on August 27, a few days before my study abroad program began.  It has been only a month, but I feel very at home in Italy. I live in Florence now and I eat gelato almost every day.

Logbooks

It is cold in Florence and rain is falling. Good thing I have warm clothes! I take the bus through the town and daydream about springtime, when I will have more time to travel.

Journals

It was a lot of fun talking with you all. I will miss you and Signor Gufo!  He already made it home and will be coming to class with a surprise! 

Field Notes

In Italy, Carnevale is celebrated in February and early March (the dates change each year). It is a time to celebrate and put on your favorite costume. There are traditional foods and parades.

Albums

The Italians love to have fun. Music and Festivals are common in Italy. Here are some pictures and videos to demonstrate it!
