Field Trip




This past weekend was a good one. Rode like five million trains, saw stuff I never thought I was ever going to see in my life, and some I didn't know about, and sketched, of course. I've enjoyed Rome very much, but getting out of the city was also very good. The green landscape of toscana was a good change from the roman city scape. With this post I decided to post some sketches that went pretty good, and also some of our photos with the leaning tower.
Even though I had some bad luck with food in Florence, it still made a spot in my heart. There was so much to see and so many people, but yet it didn't feel as congested as Roma. I did however totally crack with American food, seeing how we got coupons for a free big mac, I splurged prolly a little much, 4 big macs in two days isn't bad right. I think everyone enjoyed the field trip, even though we were still basically in school, but it was an awesome experience that I should remember for awhile, I mean how many times do you get waved to by the Italian president in Sienna Italy on the steps of its Duomo..Anyways, by the time the 4 day field trip was done, I was ready to come back home, wierd calling Roma, Italy home.....but it feels like it.
