Graffiti tunnels
Yesterday was our last day of class. We went to the graffiti tunnels, where artists are legally allowed to create graffiti works on the walls. We explored, and were very inspired I create our own graffiti so we gave it a try. All of us created a piece and then we connected them, until we had one big wall of graffiti. It was a great last class, and a great communal composition.

Cinque Terre
Over the weekend we ventured off to Cinque Terre, outside of Tuscany, and in the Liguria region. We then took a hike through the woods on old paths that connect the five villages. Finally, two hours later we arrived in Monterosso, the last village, where we cooled off in the beautiful Mediterranean.

Lunch
Today was a regular day on the Abbey Road Program. We had our morning classes, and then time for lunch. Today two friends and myself went out to this phenomenal restaurant, la giostra. The restaurant is owned by two princes and the food is the best I've had in Italy. They also have phenomenal service and brought out a complimentary antipasti plate. I have finally figured out my way around and it is almost time to go home.

Grocery shopping
Every Monday each apartment is allotted a certain amount of money to go grocery shopping. We visit both the grocery store, as well as the central market. At the mercato centrale one can find an assortment of delicious foods that are all very fresh, ranging from dried fruits and produce to meats, breads, and fresh pastas. The market is overwhelming and at the beginning of each week we come home with fresh and delicious foods for breakfast and lunch.
