Lindos
One day while in Greece we took a little tour with our new taxi driver friend, Michael.
We stopped at 3 major tourist shops/spots: a fur coat store (weird), a fancy gold jewerly store, and a ceramic shop. Guess which one I bought something from.
Our main destination was Lindos, a gorgeous little Greek hill town. We hiked up to the Acropolis and ate a delicious gyro.
On the way back to...

Spring Break
For spring break we decided to go to Rhodes, Greece because, well, we wanted to go to Greece (who doesn’t) and RyanAir flys there from Pisa.

Milan
Last Friday we took a school trip to Milan to visit Italy’s leading newspaper Corriere della Sera.
Then I went to the Triennale Design Museum with a few others. First we looked at the free exhibit all about the role of hats in movies. Very random but fun too. Then we went through “Graphic Design Worlds.” It’s a collection of work from 30-some designers from around the world. I hadn’t heard of a...
