I’ll do three weeks in one post since honestly they’ve all been a blur. I landed in Rome late Sunday night and met up with Olga and Jake, who stayed the weekend in Paris, and we split a cab back to the villa. I was able to sleep in a little before our [...]
I arrived in Munich late Friday night and met Juliette, my roommate from school who is currently studying abroad in Dublin, at the airport. We caught up on the train that took us into the city and went to bed shortly after checking into our hostel. Saturday morning we woke up fairly early [...]
On Monday, we woke up before the sun to head to the airport for our flight to Paris. It was about 1:30 by the time we checked into our rooms at the hotel. We grabbed a yummy lunch before starting our afternoon class. I had a savory crepe with marshmallow hot chocolate. Our [...]
Monday began with our first Roman Construction class with our new visiting professor, Paolo Vitti. After lunch we had a preparatory logistical meeting for our Paris field trip next week.

Saturday morning my mom and I woke up, ate breakfast, and headed to the airport. I sat with her until her flight left. We said our goodbyes until we will be reunited in the spring. After killing some time, I was on my flight to Milan where my Italian family picked me up [...]
We started our first morning in Prague by crossing the Charles Bridge and going to the Old Town Square, where we caught a walking tour of the city. The tour was extensive and covered parts of the Old Town, New Town, and Jewish Quarter. Our guide gave us a detailed history of the [...]
