I Am Going To Italy

[HisChildForever]

From May 19-June 3. This is with my school, although I'm not taking the class for credit because I've already fulfilled my Theology requirements and I've done all my free electives. Therefore I only had to pay traveling expenses, no tuition, which saved me a heck of a lot. Anyway I have everything squared away, today was our first meeting and we'll have three more. The official course title is "In the Footsteps of the Saints." We'll be studying Peter, Paul, Augustine, Catherine of Siena, Francis and Clare, Ignatius, and Don Bosco.

For the first week we'll be visiting - Turin, Milan, Bologna, and Assisi.
For the second week we'll be in Rome, with day trips to Ravenna and Pavia.

I'll be seeing the Shroud of Turin and be present for the Pope's weekly audience , among other things.

Have fun!

No Don Orione?

You should bring him up to the group. It's a shame that he's not more well known. (And he was a student of Don Bosco, so there's a connection).

[Nihil Obstat]

[Thy Geekdom Come]

I'm pretty sure it's spelled "hola," not "holla," and that's Spanish. In Italy, I think they say ciao.

Be sure to spend half of your time in Assisi! And :photograph: lots for me. And then spend the other half of your time at Mount La Verna, Rivo Torto and the Portiuncola and San Damiano! It's alright with me if you spend a few days in Rome and Tuscany... just don't neglect the important things.

[Archaeology cat]

How awesome!
