Picture Update!!!!


Helllllo everyone back home!

Please pardon our delay here since our last blog! Since arriving in Rome we have all been filled with a very very busy schedule. Touring the Colosseum, The Vatican, surrounding neighbourhoods coupled with classes everyday! We are all in very high spirits, enjoying everything that Rome has to offer from amazing pizza and vino to friendly wait staff!

Tomorrow some of us will venture to the Borghese Gardens & Gallery (www.galleriaborghese.it) , the day after The Roman Catacombs, then Florence - we have officially passed the 1/2 way mark!

Rome might be the best city in the world to allow our pictures to speak for themselves! Please enjoy these pictures!

Cheers from Roma!

Last full day in Sperlonga




Salve tutti!!!

Today started with 21 participants from the class going for a boat ride along the coast. Fruit on board with dynamic Italians driving and guiding la barca, this mornings excursion was definitely a memorable one!
Some pictures from this morning:




This afternoons class was centred on drawing exercises, principles and elements of design, intro into photography and rule of thirds. Students had an opportunity to use the mediums that have been introduced so far and to experience and try things out on their own. Some pictures from todays class:








This evening, about 20 of us had dinner on the cliff side while watching the sunset. A wonderful dinner to send us off :)

Some comments about Sperlonga from some of us:

'being in the water this morning was like a vitamin for the soul' - Tanya

'Swimming in the mediterranean was invigorating' - Joanne

'I will always have Sperlonga in my head & heart. Never to be forgotten.' - Simon

'Mind and body together, for once, are connected for the first time. I'm living in the moment.' - Ann.

Tomorrow morning, bright and early, we travel to Roma!
More stories, memories, pictures and fun to follow us. Sending everyone back home our love and good wishes.
Saluti,
Natalie

A couple of pictures from our day! Enjoy!

Sun in Sperlonga = happy happy campers!



Hello everyone back home!!!

Yesterday evening some of the ladies went out for a nice dinner :) Looking pretty in Sperlonga!

Today was filled with fun and sun! After class this morning everyone had the whole day to themselves, as some ventured to the beach, museum or pool the stage was perfect with the blue sky and Italian sun.



Tonight's dinner in the hotel was another winner, look at all the great food!!!!





Tomorrow 25 of us are going on a boat tour along the coast with a potential swim in some caves! Keep your eyes posted for pictures tomorrow.

Wishing everyone was here with us to share in these moments,
Sincerely,
Natalie
