Arrivederci America

I leave in 3 days (not counting today)! I am getting so excited, but also I can feel the oh so familiar nerves building up in my stomach. Packing is also a pain. It takes real talent to fit 4 months into one suitcase.

So my mom and I were looking at a map of Italy and she said something along the lines of "WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO BE?" So I thought I would let you all know a little more about Viterbo. Viterbo is located in the Lazio region about 60 miles from Rome. Viterbo is a medieval city, still surrounded by its city walls. There are about 61,000 residents. It's kind of like I am going to an older, more Italian version of Carson City. It is one of the most well preserved ancient cities in that region. Look it up on Wikipedia if you interested in learning any more info! Or look here.




I will be attending the Universitá Della Tuscia. I am taking an art history course, an Italian cuisine course, and two Italian language classes. I will most likely be traveling on the weekends, where most of my more interesting experiences will come from. I will miss everyone, but I am excited to share this experience with all of you!
