Today was a "free" day for all of us. Some students went to Naples and Pompeii, while others stayed in Rome. We all meet tonight for a last dinner together. It was a cool and rainy walk to the restaurant but we all had a good time laughing and sharing about our days. We are all ready to go, yet sad that it is over. Departures vary throughout tomorrow and even extend to Sunday or Monday.
It has been a great trip. Dr. Leopardi did an excellent job as professor, teacher, scholar, doctor, nurse, and friend. We all are very very grateful for all the effort and care she obviously put into the course.
There will be one or two more blog entries. There will also be a book produced that chronicles the course day-by-day as well as having an entire spread showcasing each students pictures and reflections on the course. The book should be complete by the end of February and will be available for purchase on blurb.com. The cover is the final image posted today.
Thanks Professor Chimenti. Your posts and photos have been amazing. I have thoroughly enjoyed my nightly "read". We will want the book. Thanks to Professor Leopardi for an incredible trip. And thanks to her again for being such an inspiration to my daughter!!!!
