This weekend was very fun! On Saturday we went to Figueres, home to the well known Salvador Dali Museum, also where Dali was born. It was a very cool museum and we got to walk around and take pictures of all of the intriguing and interesting artwork. After that, we went to a beautiful beach in Figures. We had about two hours there, where we ...
On Thursday we had, of course, our regular morning classes. After lunch, we headed towards Nice! We were allowed many different options while in Nice. Sports, pottery, visiting a candy store, and free time. I choose to have free time so that I could walk around and see more of the city. After the afternoon activities, we had dinner in Nice with ...
Two weeks have already flown by! These past few days have been filled with many languages- not only French and English but also Italian! Arthur, the head of Abbey Road, came for a visit on Saturday and took us to the beautiful city of San Remo, Italy. To get there, we rented a private bus, which meant no waiting in the station for late trains! ...
Today in art history we visited the museum of contemporary art. Our counselor had a friend who worked there and gave us a tour which was fascinating. He explained the meanings behind these rooms that together made a sort of sculpture. After the museum, I took a long nap because of all the full days we've had. Tonight was a master chef, each ...

So this last Sunday was the first day of the third session of the Abbey Road college prep program. Initially, I was quite nervous, as I had arrived only twenty minutes before all of the participants were supposed to arrive and there was no parking near the Emerson College campus. My family and I managed to arrive at Emerson with time to spare, ...
We have arrived in Italy! While very different from Athens, Rome has been exquisite so far. The buildings are my favorite part so far; the architecture is beautiful. Since arriving, we have had a busy schedule. We went on a day trip to Naples, where we explored the National Archeological Museum. In preparation for our final exam, we searched ...
On Wednesday evening we went to a ceramics studio to learn about the history of ceramics in Italy. The artist, Enzo, taught us how to paint a traditional Florentine design on our plates. It was quite stressful to try and get it right but in the end, our plates looked almost professional. For Art History class on Thursday, we had a private ...
