| The view from the Castle in 基安蒂红葡萄酒. |
Aside from going on our own trips throughout 意大利 and Europe, CEA has taken us on some great excursions in 意大利.
到目前为止, I have participated in the (optional and covered) excursions to 基安蒂红葡萄酒, 罗马, 锡耶纳, and coming up soon we will be visiting Assisi.
The first trip was to 基安蒂红葡萄酒 for the program's welcome luncheon. We visited Castello di Verranzzano in 基安蒂红葡萄酒. Our tour was with the wonderful Gino Rosi who could not tell us enough about the beauty of wine and its importance to Italian culture. He expressed his love for creating the best wine he ever could and told us that wine was a part of him. He quoted Christopher McCandless, who said "Happiness is real, only when shared." After the tour, we enjoyed some of the best pasta I have ever had. Half way through my stay here in 弗洛伦斯 and it still is the best pasta I've eaten in 意大利.

| Gino is one of the best speakers I have encountered. He took great pride in explaining wine |

| We sampled the winery's red and white wines. |

| Every table looked like this in no time! |
The next trip CEA took us on was an overnight excursion to 罗马. We were provided with transportation, a hotel room with two other students (our choice), and tours with awesome and very knowledgeable guides. Even though the weather was not the best, 罗马 was great. 我们能够探索圣. Peter's Basilica and the Vatican the day we arrived. I was in awe gazing at the works of art these historical places carried. 这太超现实了. It was even more surreal standing inside the Colosseum the following day! We visited the Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain where I made my two coin tosses: the first - to return to Roma and the second - to fall in love. If you toss a third coin you wish for marriage.

| The Pantheon towering above me. |

| You toss your coin with your left hand, or else it does not come true! |

| This 锡耶纳 pizza man gladly put on a show for us |

| The beautiful 锡耶纳 Cathedral |
These were great trips and I was so excited that the CEA staff showed us around 意大利. 下一站，阿西西!
一个很快!
