Greetings from Sienna...Tuscany. I made it from Sardinia and have now started my own travel. Hopefully I can be a bit more proactive with the blogs now, including pictures. Anyways, first things first, I have officially finished the last class I ever need to take as a geology undergraduate!!!!!!!!!!! It is about time. Very exciting. The class in Sardinia was difficult but I learned a lot. Sardinia is a beautiful place. I wish I had more time to sight-see but I was taking a 6 credit class after all. The day after the class, I had a day in Algero by myself. I checked out the city, went shopping, and took a boat ride to a really cool place called Capo Cacci. I saw some really cool Limestone caves.

Things are great. We turned in our first mapping project and I am very proud of the map I made. Yesterday we had a day off to celebrating being done. We took it easy until around 3:30 when we went to a wine vineyard for a festival. It was great. Free food (salami, cheese, mini pizzas) and all the wine you could drink..for free. They gave red, white and sparkling. It was pretty good. There was also traditional Sardinian music and dancing and we went on a tour of the wine cellars. Huge barrels of wine!!! The rest of the night was spent recuperating. Today we had an easy day of lectures and then drove around looking at volcanic rocks for our next project. Ok, I am going into town today. Speak to you all later. ... read more

Hey Everyone, Just wanted to let you all know things are going well. We have started doing more itense geology work but it isn't too bad yet. Tomarrow we start our first big mapping project. THe past two days have been spent as review sessions of field techniques during the day, with the afternoons off. Usually, I have been spending that time at the beach. We have also been drinking lots of wine because the wine is very good here. On sunday we even go on a vinyard tour. Yummy. Still can't post pictures (probably can not for the next 2 weeks, until we go to our next location). I will try posting again later in the week. Hope all is well. Feel free to drop me an email. miss you all. ... read more
