Via dell’Amore – Duffeaver Style

Took tons of gorgeous graffiti pics on the Via dell’Amore between the cities of Riomaggiore and Manarola while hiking the rocky, coastal trail in Cinque Terre, Italy. These just happened to pertain to me and Dan (aka: ‘Danna’, aka: ‘Duffeaver’).

Bittersweet

– Checked all the students out this morning

– Packing for my week off in between programs
– Going to Italy tomorrow (without Dan, as originally planned)
– etc etc etc
There’s lots of happy things going on right now, so I’m keeping my eyes fixed on that without forgetting about what could’ve been / what was SUPPOSED to be… Grrrr…
Anyway, off to Italy in the morning to relax during my week off. Cinque Terre first followed by Rome. Reminds me of my post-Cannes travel back when I was a student on the trip. Ah, memories.

Irony

French strikes on every form of travel during our program’s “travel weekend.” Ah, France.

So…in regard to my LAST post…let’s just change it to, “I hope to be at the French Open” (and so does the 80euros I spent on my awesome ticket).
Currently I am camped out in Nice airport – and am so far on my second delay of the day. I HOPE there aren’t any other delays. Dear god, I hope there aren’t any others.

Icelandic Volcano In Action

I had mentioned earlier that one of our students, Melissa Buckman, actually SAW the erupting volcano out of the window of her British Airways flight on her trek over. The pilot pointed it out to all passengers on the side of the plane she was on. There were other students of ours on this flight, however Melissa was one of the only ones awake to snap this amazing picture. It’s history in the making, folks.
