Today was our last field trip as part of this study abroad program. We traveled to Anzio which is where the american cemetary is located in Italy. This cemetary houses the bodies of the soldiers that fought and died in World War 2. It was interesting to see the historical site and at the same time very creepy at how many rows of tiny white crosses they had on the property. Once we left the cemetary we traveled to the town to see the beach and layout for a little ...

Those of us that visited the fashion stores went ...
