My Failed Attempt to Describe Rome

March 12, 2014 / Art, family, Italy, religion, travel

Colosseum! Please excuse the rambling tone of this post. Too much to say to make sense… Ethan knows what’s up It blows my mind that I can say things like, “For the second half of White Week, I visited Rome again.”  Rome. Just for a few days. For the second time. Is this real life? […]

City of Lights and Gargoyles

March 9, 2014 / Art, family, France, travel

Florence: World’s Best Ravioli

February 19, 2014 / family, Italy, travel

There’s nothing that delights me more than spending time with my family. Having my parents visit me here in Italy has filled me with more joy than I can even say. After a worrying delay during the “storm” in Newark, my parents arrived mid-afternoon on Friday. I say “storm” in a sarcastic and contemptuous tone […]

It was incredible trip; the history and […]

Italy is Weird

December 29, 2013 / culture shock, Italy

I really love Italy. Really. So much is wonderful; the food, the sights, the people… It’s a beautiful place to live! Some things just need to be shared, though: I’m (probably) signing life away.  I fully agree to be trafficked within and around Italy. Love, Jessica M. Streisel These first bunch of months have involved […]

Fakesgiving and Other Adventures

November 24, 2013 / Fashion, food, Milan, wine

The last few weeks have been, as usual, extra stressful, but had some fun adventures mixed in. Clearly, they have champion wine. Last weekend, one of the teachers sent out an email that the usually super exciting Opera (sarcasm) was going to be having a wine tasting at the local library, and another new teacher […]

Day of Monet

November 10, 2013 / Art, Italy
