We had our first exam in Ethics class today. Ha-ha….ha. Take from that what you will. The day was spent cooped up inside again. Unfortunately a lot of those days seem to be in my near future. I saw something a bit odd today. I was walking down the sidewalk (which are actually an efficient size, unlike in Italy) and I saw a woman, probably in her 50's, crossing a street to the next block. A car went to turn off the main road onto the street she was crossing, ...

Now for the daily update… I warn you its going to be fairly long because I'm elaborating on yesterday and introducing today (not that much excitement went down today). I got smart and realized that I should probably type out my blog on to a Word document then paste it into my blog page due to Internet inconveniences. So let's go back to our tour from yesterday. We learned that when Hitler first started his shenanigans he was sentenced to five years in priso...

Where to start? First I was woken up bright and early by old hymns wafting through my window, in German of course. We had our walking tour of the city today. I LOVE Munich!

I don't even know where to start. Everything has been chaos so right now my mind in chaos. We made it to the airport at 9:45 (15 min. ahead of schedule) so we thought we were doing pretty well. We got in line to check in and.... hell began. Apparently we were NOT going to still take 2 bags each with us as carry-ons, no matter that Lufthansa reps had told our professors otherwise. Ignore the fact that they had both busted their butts for a week trying to get writt...

This is my last blog from Florence! Tonight I'll be writing out Munich, Germany. We had a very chilled, peaceful last night here. We did dinner at a little wine bar and sandwich/shop shop then went to a rooftop bar and restaurant for wine. It was about 9:00 and just getting dark and Florence started to sparkle. I don't feel so bad about not getting to climb The Duomo now. From the rooftop we had the second best view of the city plus wine :) Looking at The Duomo ...
