Bonjour! Ciao! Hallo!

Current Location -Florence, Italy

While abroad in France fall quarter, I will blog about my many adventures. I know this will be a once in a life time experience, and don't want to forget a single moment of it.

My tentative schedule for the first 24 days abroad is:
France, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and Italy.

Then, I will be living in Angers, France for three months. It is a small city located in the Loire Valley. There, I will be attending the Catholic University of the West and traveling on the long weekends.

My depature date is September 5, 2010.
My return date is December 21, 2010.
108 days of learning, exploring, independence, traveling, culture, and of course cuisine.


Amour toujours,
Shannon

Florence, or Firenze as the Italian call it was my favorite place on the trip to far. The people were hilarious, all had an abundance of personality and sass. In Firenze, we visited the famous David statue. Did you know that Michelangelo was the only artist to actually go to the site and pick out his own material for carving. We also visited

The Duomo

Bell Tower

Ponte Vecchio

Academia.. all amazing
