  • Sono sola - dueA couple more comments on the trip to Castelfranco. One of the destinations was, of course, the mall. The grocery store there is considerably cheaper, so it was time to stock up. One item that I have Posted by Brichkline in Off to Italy | Jan 23, 2012
  • Buon'anno Lunare!!!Je sais que ça fait un petit moment que je n'ai pas écrit mais je suis dans la dernière ligne droite avant les examens donc je ne fais rien d'autre que réviser, aller en cours d'Italien et aller au club Posted by a_frog_in_italy in the_travelling_frog | Jan 23, 2012
  • Winter WonderlandWell everyone had been telling me for so long about how cold it was going to be when we reached winter. And then, as the mild and beautiful weather continued (more like spring in Sydney), they kept telling about how Posted by lastudentessa in My Italian Adventure | Jan 22, 2012
  • Teaching Italians EnglishI always said when I was growing up that out of all the jobs in the world the one that I would never be was...a teacher. Suddenly I found myself in Italy expected to teach hundreds of high school children Posted by Dani_law in Around (most of) the world in 209 days! | Dec 14, 2011
  • La Famiglia Italiana When I first heard that I would be staying with an Italian family rather than the centrally located apartment in Rome I couldn't help but be sceptical. Having lived by myself at uni (well with friends of course i'm not Posted by Dani_law in Around (most of) the world in 209 days! | Dec 21, 2011
  • Our Week at the Villa!Nestled in a quiet valley between two mountain ranges and in the shadow of the birthplace of St. Francis of Assisi, the villa La Fattoria del Gelso is an ideal place to discover the treasures of Umbria and the secrets Posted by dborgeson in Europe - Summer 2012 | Jan 21, 2012
  • Sono solaUp to this point, I have been graciously sheparded around by returning faculty when venturing beyond the immediate area. Today, I headed off to Castelfranco Veneto with a few objectives. First, to scout out the train station where Posted by Brichkline in Off to Italy | Jan 21, 2012
  • Home economicsThe whole recycling bit seems to have been of interest to the girls and the cousins, so let me regale you a bit more with tales of my lavish domesticity. A view into the kitchen of this Italian apartment Posted by Brichkline in Off to Italy | Jan 21, 2012
  • The VaticanThe Vatican Basilica and its musuems are by far, in all of my travels, the most impressive religous sights I have ever seen! We started the day early as our host families advised us we would need the whole day Posted by Dani_law in Around (most of) the world in 209 days! | Dec 3, 2011
  • Oh dear, is it Umido Lunedi already?One of the first topics in orientation is trash. Europeans have a highly-developed sense of resource use and recycling. I thought in Colorado (Boulder in particular) we were aware of recycling. Here,all the trash must be sorted Posted by Brichkline in Off to Italy | Jan 19, 2012
  • Roman NightsOk so I thought I should right a quick blog on nightlife in Rome. The first time I experience Italian night life was with Karolina, Daniele and his firends in...of course...Trastevere!

  • A new chapter...So my last week in Verona was fairly quiet but was also busy preparing for the next adventure. I had one week of school left and was a bit worried that I might have forgotten a lot of Italian after Posted by moninitaly in Life in Italy | Jan 19, 2012
  • In the middleI have found a surprising upside to my expat work here. My job (not the teaching here, but the occupation I maintain, hence the gracious approval from management) requires frequent teleconferences with Singapore/Malaysia, Barcelona/Dublin/Stuttgart, and Posted by Brichkline in Off to Italy | Jan 18, 2012
  • Start out right in Italy – with food!I had not earlier mentioned the welcome dinner with fellow faculty, staff, student RA’s, and families. On Friday, after arrival, we drove a short way up a mountain road. Everything here is just like living on the Front Posted by Brichkline in Off to Italy | Jan 18, 2012
  • When in Rome....Hi from Rome!! After a short stay in Catania, we made it to the Italian capital and one of the most visited cities in the world - Rome or Roma as the Italians call it (all Italian names and places seem Posted by melissa12maree in Mel & Fiona's most excellent adventure | Jan 17, 2012
  • L'acquisto di frutta frescaWe seem fortunate to be within walking distance (~1 mile) from one of the best and largest markets in the area. Every Sunday, the town of Crespano del Grappa is transformed. This is not what we picture in Posted by Brichkline in Off to Italy | Jan 16, 2012
  • VeniceVenice is Venice. It's everything that you imagine it will be, and a city that I feel is best described by my camera lens. Enjoy!

  • Check under the hood, too?Yes, we have several oenophiles and foodies in the group. More tales of that, I am sure. Saturday night I had the pleasure of being in a party with three of them. It was a delightful time, Posted by Brichkline in Off to Italy | Jan 15, 2012
  • MilanoMilan, the fashion and shopping capitol of the world! Tom and I were only able to spend one day in this gorgeous city, but we soaked up as much as we could. I can't tell you how nice it was Posted by lhampikian in Une fille américaine | Jan 15, 2012
  • The Bridge At BassanoSaturday morning several of us met at the pastry shop. Of course, where else would one wish to start the day in Italy? Following a Macchiato and a pastry, I tagged along as some of the returning faculty Posted by Brichkline in Off to Italy | Jan 15, 2012
  • Who needs an alarm clock?The apartment is wonderful. It is fairly spartan, but each professor that occupies it adds a little bit more. The location can not be beat. It is about a five minute walk - past the soccer fields Posted by Brichkline in Off to Italy | Jan 15, 2012
  • Italy 8 Yep we are in Venice. Caught the fast train up, very full for the fi Posted by judges29 in Europe 2011 | Jan 9, 2012
