Today I had a bunch of time on my hands. I decided to take a look through my library of photos and revisited my time I spent in Italy. I studied at L'Accademia Italiana in Florence. The program was so so but the experience was unforgettable. I strongly suggest study abroad to any student that has the opportunity.
There is a story behind every one of these pictures. Maybe you've been to these places and have your own stories. Either way, I hope you all enjoy the photos as much as I do.

My roommate and I found the quarries outside of Florence in Fiesole. Used some stone and built a few rock sculptures that day. Here I am with one of them.

Cool pics! I'd like to get back to Italy now that I'm not in the 7th grade. That was the last time I was there.
Oddly enough, I the bus driver for an Italian group starting next week.

A friend of mine and his wife have a similar sunlit shot that they took from a lower elevation hanging in their living room.
Cool pics. [thumbsup]

Cinque Terre was such a beautiful place with five small towns perched on the coast overlooking the sea. I hiked the entire Via Dell'Amore with a great group of friends visiting all five towns. Definitely a place everyone should see in their lifetime.
