Ireland was alot of fun, it was great to get to see mary, jason, and their kids before they left. They showed us almost everything there was in belfast. I think me and addison wore mary out though. The people in ireland were really nice and thought we were entertaining.
yesterday we went to visit some old estruscan tombs nearby. The estruscans were the original inhabitants of the area where rome is now. It was intriguing to see how their culture developed from before they met the greeks to after and how they assimilated into greek culture. The tombs were dug in 5th century bc, so it was impressive to be able to visit these sites and know that they were made by an ancient civilization over 2000 years ago.
Schools been fun, don't really understand the project yet, but its supposed to be some kind of museum thing that represents the culture and history of rome. We've only been working on it for a week, so i'm sure i'll figure more out later on.
we're building a big site model this weekend, so that should be fun. also got some other stuff to do.
I developed some black and white pictures from rome, and they were really beautiful. If I get some time, i'll scan the best ones and put them up here. Maybe today I can pick up the ones from Ireland.
I'll try and post more regularly, but I can't promise anything; its really easy to get caught up in experiencing Italy.
