For those of you wondering if we're actually doing any school work over here, I'm posting my poem we had to write for Rome, and the sketches and watercolors we had to produce. We just got GIS data from the provence of Arrezo, and are working hard on our methodology projects.

By Kimberly True

Serene brilliant morning light gives way to daily bustle

in the City of marble and blue skies

Symmetry, perspective, changes over time

Cycles of power, greatness to decline

What lessons can we learn?

Ancient structures still standing

through the millennia

A sentry defying time

Sharing a glimpse of a glorious past

Leaving us to wonder what was

Vibrant twilight reflects colors only seen in dreams

Hastening an evening of delights

Though illuminated masterpieces we wander

Flowing water rushing over smooth stone

Your beauty forever changing, always remaining
