The Viterbo, Italy students celebrated their accomplishments last night with a display at the Accademia of paintings and watercolors from Judy Brown’s Landscape Painting class, sketchbooks created during Fred Lynch’s Journalistic Drawing class, and, from Charles Boyer’s writing class, journal readings on a variety of Italian topics — pizza “presents”, golden nectar at the Trevi Fountain, and surrealist memories of Viterbo night terrors.

It is difficult for me to believe we’ve begun our 2nd week here in Viterbo. Arriving crunched up, sleep deprived and suddenly stepping into the heat and sunlight, now seems a distant memory. The first days are always a blur of arrival: settling into our apartments at the student residence or through the walled city, eating our first meal, blissfully falling asleep at the end of that very long first day. That first Saturday we have initial class meetings, find our way around the city, eat more together (this is Italy after all!) and spend a leisurely Sunday on the shores of Lago Bolsena.
