First Weekend and Tombs

I'm still getting into the swing of things, but the lack of intense homework has given me an opportunity to get a jump start on this album. I am also kind of shocked at how many pictures I've taken in a week - there is no way that I'm going to be able to sustain this sort of pace over the rest of the semester.

Anyway, more pages. Here's us at the Campo dei Fiori, enjoying some panini. Yum. Theoretically, there will be a matching Disney Store page across from it later.

This one I posted over at the Lilypad for Sahlin Studios' Memory Land Monday with the Story of Friendship kit. The pictures are all super tiny because I just grabbed them from people's facebook pages.

This too has a matching page of the wedding cake monument (I never remember its real name). It's the first thing we see at the terminus of our main bus.

For our big Tuesday trip, we went out to go see some Etruscan tombs (yay Etruscans? The imperial age is more my area).  But just before the real tombs, there was a museum where we saw Etruscan sarcophagi and Greek vases from the grave goods, but no photography allowed. I had left my camera on the bus anyway, so it was a moot point.  Along with this page, there will a page focusing on the particular tomb at Tarquinia that Aimee and I did our project on.

After a rather rushed lunch and no bathroom break (seriously, who locks the bathroom five minutes before closing when there is clearly a large group prepping to leave?), we headed out to the next tomb site.

For the Thursday trip, we scaled it back and hit up a really neat museum, although it was still more Etruscan stuff. I have a lot more notes about specific artifacts, but like the other museum, photography was not allowed :( I might just look up the pieces online and use google for them later.

There was a really cool reproduction of an Etruscan temple, not permissible to enter. Also important to note: Etruscan temples were actually made of bricks and wood, mostly, so the reproduction is not true to the original material.  However, it was built that was so as to avoid the degradation that caused there to be no real remaining Etruscan temples in the first place.

Alas, homework once again beckons. More Suetonius, who I've really been enjoying, and studying for the weekly quiz. Good thing that I'm counting this scrapbooking as related to studying due to the content.  If there's time tonight, I'm going to get the Vatican Museum pages done as well as St. Peter's Square, which I went to on my own yesterday. So amazing - I couldn't get in to the Basilica, but it was because the pope was ordaining new bishops! So now I've seen him via screen :)
