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.

Can't remember the name of this particular building but it was beautiful

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.






Roma






Totally badass

Remember me if you see this name on a table in Fiesole

When the blind man takes your hand
Says don't you see
Gotta' make it somehow
On the dreams you still believe

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.
