Also if you are interested in trying to help me raise some funding for this trip you could host a SCENTSY party :)  Oooooooooooor donate to the "Send Melissa to Italy" fund :D

And so it begins...

I decided to create this blog so that you all can keep updated on my process to get to Italy and my adventures while I am there.  So let me fill you in on the program a bit-

It is a 7 credit month long trip to Italy that revolves all around the art and history, as well as creating some art of our own. here is the list of places we will be going:
Florence
La Specola Museum
Brancacci Chapel
San Marco Church
Museum of the History of Science
Duomo and visit to the
Accademia (Michelangelo’s David)
Siena
Museo dell'Opera del Duomo
Sant'anna
Trip to Pienza
Daniel Spoerri Sculpture Garden
Venice
Venice Biennale
Peggy Guggenheim Museum
Padua
Giotto’s Chapel (Scrovegni’s Chapel)

Of course this is subject to change but I am so excited!!!!!

I will also be going up early and hanging out with Jessica :D we will see some of the other places and have some fun!

Now this will not be easy... Pray that the funding comes through.  It is not an easy ride to get to Italy just the plane ticket alone makes me feel dizzy (the lowest I have found it 1600 round trip >.<). 

This will be a great experience for me and I am excited to share it with you.
