North Trip Update
November 11, 2008
I made it back from our North trip late Monday night, we didn’t know if we would make if home at first since they railway went on strike and stopped trains. Luckily there were trains back to Rome all day. A quick update on the trip is that we took an overnight train to Basel (12 hours) and then took another train to Bern and stayed there for one night after a quick afternoon in Germany at a museum. After that we took a train to Zurich and were there for 2 nights and went to some poster collection museums and heard a couple designers speak. After Zurich we all took a train back to Milan and we had the option to either break off and do our own thing or go back to Rome. A couple girls and I went to Florence for 2 nights and checked out the sights there, then obviously came back to Rome on Monday night. The whole trip was a ton of fun but it was also exhausting. It will take me a few days to type up a full update from that trip so hopefully I can get that up before this weekend. I will be in Cork, Ireland for the weekend so I’ll probably wait and post all of those pictures at the same time. I am really busy with classes and projects this week so it may take a couple days to update but don’t worry it will come. I did update my Google map with the spots we went to on the map so you can look at those if you want to. The new map is posted below.
