Ciao!

Just got back from Pompeii!!!

It was so cool - but right now I've got to study for our Humanities midterm so I'll write allllllll about it later.

(Here's a picture of us on top of Mt. Vesuvius to give you a little taste of our adventures.)

Love and miss you all,

Liz

"As a fish swims the length and breadth of the sea and rests in its depths, as a bird flies through the air, so the Soul feels her mind completely unrestrained in the height, width, and depth of Love."

- Beatrice of Nazareth

To my good friends and family back home: my apologies for the delay! It has been 20 days since I have written anything here and I feel awful! Life has been rushing by at the speed of light but I solemnly promise to write soon about our trip to Sicily last week and everything that has happened since. Love you all and hope all is well in your hearts and in your lives.

xoxoxo

More pics from Venice!

Teach me, God, to pray / in works as much as in words / to make my actions thoughtful messages / to make my actions more beautiful than words.

Venice (Venezia)

Mi dispiace for the delay! To say it has been a crazy couple of days would be a drastic understatement. (I probably won't be writing much over the next week either, because we will be in Sicily on our educational fieldtrip from the 8th to the 17th.)

So to catch up, our weekend trip to Venice was awesome! I went with my roommate Nicole and our friend Catherine, who is studying in Switzerland this year. Here are some pictures of the three of us, the city, the art (in Gallerie dell'Accademia Venezia), and the little bungalow where we spent the night.

Ciao til next time!
