Today, we traveled from Klagenfurt, Austria all the way here to Padua. It is a small old historic town about 30 minutes outside of Venice. Klagenfurt was a fun, relaxing stop on the way here. It was a charming Austrian town with a great Macdonald's! The drive through the northern Italian mountains was beautiful. Anyway, the hotel here in Padua (Padova in Italian) is super nice (4 star), complete with a bedet (sp?) and high speed internet. I already love how people talk down here, it is so smo...

Padova, I was SO excited to come and visit! We stayed in a hotel here for a couple of nights. Firstly because it was a lot cheaper than staying in a hotel in Venice and secondly because I really wanted to see the city. Some people go to Verona, I wanted to go to Padua. I am so glad that I did! Padova is certainly overlooked as a city to visit in Italy. I chose to visit for a few reasons. First is because it has the University of Padua, one of the oldest Universities in Europe and the...

I traveled to Venice last year, May 2005. It was ultra hot, already, even in May. The groups of tourists (me included) were almost unbearable. None the less, it was a great & memorable vacation/experience. Venice is a beautiful city. I hope that everyone gets the chance to visit & experience this enchanting city.

Studying abroad just doesn't mean partying and drinking, it means assimilating into the culture, learning the language, speaking the language, interacting with spaniards, eating spanish food "tapas", accepting the differences, opening up your horizons, being patient, and searching for yourself, for who you are. This is my life, this is my year abroad in Granada, Spain 2007-2008
