Sweet country of my own heart. Italy brought so many wonderful, memorable and beautiful experiences. The cities were gorgeous, filled with history, delicious gelato, warm weather, shnazzy people in tailored and designer apparel and savory pasta. The people spoke beautifully, greeted us warmly and were understanding and patient with the language barrier. Italy brought hurricane Paulo, tears at the Sistine Chapel, swim caps at the pool, quaint cafes in Florence, cheap street markets, Groms lemone gelato, 5 star hotel in Venice, gorgeous canals and architecture, pristine beaches and pizza in abundance wherever we went. It was warm, rich in culture and utterly belissimo. Gratsi Italia.

The big and bold city of Paris. So much to see and experience in such a vibrant country. Paris brought not only the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, but also assorted artisan cheese blends, bagettes for miles, pasteries to die for and surprisingly, very friendly Parisians. The Seine showed us the city, the Eiffel Tower dazzled, the Opera House gave us the music of the night, Villa Savoy inspired, Bastille Day fireworks left me awe, Versailles overwhelmed (as did Sid), the Louvre brought gratitude and Vaux de Vicomte was magical. It was big, filled with a passionate culture and cuisine and was c'est magnifique. Merci Paris.
Au revoir!E N G L A N D:
Land of my forefathers. We left the old and gaudy and came to the modern and streamlined. London is defined by up and coming, breakthrough, fresh, new, urban and dapper. The city has been filled with posh cars, upscale stores, pubs, hip restaurants, modern architecture fused with historical influences, premiers, nightclubs, designers and the hustle and bustle of the tube. We have seen palaces, manors, halls, houses and homes to royalty, Earls, Duke, Marquees and Dutchesses. Train rides, musicals, countrysides, rolling hills, hendges of stone, and Bens that are big brought new appreciation, laughter and broader views of design. The city has been welcoming, exciting, eclectic, modern and of course, brilliant.
Cheers Britain!The past five weeks cannot be fully described in words. To say it has been amazing is an understatement. Life changing for sure. My eyes have been opened to new cultures, my palate to new cuisine and my style to new design. I will be taking away so much more then pictures and souvenirs from this study abroad. Thank you Utah State. I love being an Aggie.
For the last time.
Ciao, au revoir and cheers.
