The Long Weekend

Now that we're back from our long weekend, everyone is relaxed and ready for what's in store next. Having four days to travel rather than the usual three allowed students to get to places and really immerse themselves in the culture. A large group of students, almost half, headed to Barcelona, Spain where they spent the weekend soaking up the sun and staying up late. Barcelona is a town full of character and adventure, especially Las Ramblas. Pictured below is a group of street performers on the famous walk, where you can find everything from fresh flowers to Spain souveniors.

Other students went to Rome, Prague, Amsterdam, and even Nice, France. It seemed that beach destinations were the most popular for this long weekend, as it gave a little chance for R&R away from the University. Nice was full of sunny skies, a beautiful sea, and great people. While unable to board the yachts of the French Riviera, it was definitely a sight to see!

It's hard to believe we've already had our second weekend away from Bergamo. Time is flying by, before we know it we'll be saying our goodbyes at the Castle Party. But until then we have a ton of fun things planned. Tonight a pasta party, tomorrow a free day, then it's away again for the weekend.

Keep checking back for more updates, and if you have any questions, leave us a comment, we'd love to hear from you all back in the States! Ciao!
