Today was the last day of being in my favorite country thus far. And to add to that sadness we are officially halfway through the voyage…but I know that one day I WILL be back in Greece. The first day I had a field trip with my favorite teacher (my acting teacher, Drew Kahn) to the ancient Greek theaters of Athens. Needless to say it was phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. I can't even describe the emotions that came up. Just thinking about how everything I w...

Bog from Croatia (bog means hi)!!!! The first thing I have to say about Croatia is it is HOT! I'm talking 112 F with high humidity. You start sweating literally the minute you walk off the ship. The silver lining of this is that I spent the last 3 days mostly at the beach. The first day off, my rommie, Simone and I hit the old city, which basically turned into a beach trip. It is pretty much impossible to go out during the day in Croatia without hitting a beach...

ROMA! Rome was a very interesting trip. Honestly it would seem there was a lot to report but really our days consisted of seeing the "must" sites (Coliseum, Sistine Chapel, Vatican, Ruins, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain…ask me to see pictures) and then afterward we would go to lovely dinners with some of the best wine I have ever tasted and then we would wander the streets. Honestly, it sounds a little boring but I could spend days just eating pasta, drinking...

Ciao Italia!!!! Venice! First of all Venice is the most beautiful place in the entire world. I could wander around there for months and just get lost in the beauty. Getting there was an adventure! We went to Sorrento for the day and it was just lovely. Little side streets and adorable shops. The only downside was that it was a little bit touristy. Then the adventure of the night train began! We get to the train station and the first thing we see next to our tr...

Today was the first day in Italy. Honestly, Naples is kind of a dirty city. The first thing I did was go to Pompeii and Herculaneum. The city was awesome! I cannot believe how well preserved the cities were. It's just amazing to step into the city exactly how it would have been for the Romans. They had such advanced technology! The sewer system, running water, walkways…all phenomenal. Not to mention the artwork. The mosaics, pottery, and paintings on the wall...
