As the title of this post suggests, I had an incredible time traveling during the past week. I’m intimidated by the thought of writing it all down coherently, but I know I need to. I’ve been really busy since I got back and it’s late right now, so I’ll just start with the highlights to keep you engaged.

Work has been fun this week! Yesterday I went out and took pictures of several buildings in the historic center of town, where you can see the original town hall, the national cathedral (home institution of the Pope!), the national bank, etc. I also spent some time scheduling out my work plan for the next six weeks. Now that I’m getting to create my own content for the blog, I have a lot of different stuff to do. I spent a couple hours last week brainstorming article ideas, and now that I’ve got it all planned out, I can start reporting and writing next week.

It doesn’t seem possible that I’ve already been here for two weeks. There’s something new every day, which makes days pass so quickly.

Writing something in my calendar for next month, I saw that “Independence Day” was printed on the 4th. “No,” I thought, confused. “Independence Day is the 9th.”

As I type this, I’m sitting at my desk, eating fresh pear and blue cheese, and sipping Malbec. For me, the past couple of summers have seemed like practice for my life after college— except maybe a little more extravagant and exotic. But still. It makes me dread graduation much less.
