Our plane landed around 11 pm Sunday night in Marrakech. Our drivers picked us up from the airport and took us to get something to eat. We stopped at a little hole in the wall restaurant that our driver said he liked, and it might have been one of the best philly cheesesteak sandwiches I’ve…

Monday-Wednesday were just thesis days as usual. Nothing much to add. Thursday morning we went to Milan. Once we arrived we checked into our hotel (it was basically a hostel) and grabbed some lunch. After that we took the train to the center of the town and our professor had a scavenger hunt game for…

I don’t have much to add about Monday-Wednesday, we just worked on thesis all day everyday. I have now started on my estimate. Thursday morning we left for Ravenna for the day. We toured a couple Basilicas and also got to see Dante’s tomb. Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) is one of Italy’s greatest poets, best known…

Thursday we traveled to Rome from Urbino, which is about a 4 hour drive. Once we got to Rome we checked into the hotel and grabbed some lunch. We all got burgers, something we don’t get to eat much here! Later in the afternoon took public transportation into the city to walk around. We walked…

Monday was my birthday and all I did was thesis for about 10 hours unfortunately. I woke up early and FaceTimed Sydnie and grabbed breakfast so I had a good start to the day. Professor Rahn picked up some croissants for the class and the class sang happy birthday for me. Thank you professor Rahn.…

Thursday morning we loaded up on a couple buses and rode for about an hour to an organic wine tour. The farm we visited produces wine and olive oil. It was super cool to see how they make everything and how much they care about the farm and the quality of the products they produce.…
