10-Day Break
From October 25th to November 3rd, 2002, we had a Mid-Semester break. We were free to travel, go back to the USA to visit family, or just stay in Macerata. Some people traveled to Sicily, where they got to experience an eruption of Mount Etna. Others traveled out of Italy to places such as Ireland, or Istanbul. I decided that I would travel for about 5 days or so within Italy, and then meet up with Jeff Cottrell & Mike Pettovello in Amsterdam, and possibly stop somewhere in Switzerland on the way back to Macerata.

Below are my journal entries from my 10-Day Break. Follow the linked words for pictures of what I'm describing. Here's a list of the cities that I ended up spending some time in: Bologna, Verona, Milan, Como, Bellagio, Varenna, Brussels, & Amsterdam.
