Still strolling and whistling in the rain

Since last time....


Went to Gorizia, Italy with a group of people two weeks ago on Saturday. Gorizia is a small northern town with not much to see except for a magnificent castle. It was so awesome to climb up the hill that led to the castle and look over the city and landscape. Gorizia also extends into Slovenia. So we walked across the border and stopped for some good ole Slovenian coffee. 

Last week we had our first Bryan professor come. Dr. Legg taught the New Testament Literature and Interpretation class. The class was similar to a survey of the New Testament only crammed into one week. It was a really great class and the research papers were interesting. The topic of my paper was the varioius theories on Revelation 2 and 3 - were the letters to the churches literal or were they meant for the furture universal church? Or perhaps are the letters a timeline of the church and its progress/degression? I answered that question...only not really.

=)

This past Saturday Lauren and I went on a shopping date to the Udine mall. That mall is MASSIVE! =O It is like it ate three other malls and a super Wal-mart! We browesed a LOT of shops...and we walked out of there with one english (inglese) to italian (italiano) dictionary, one postcard and a cup of gellato. 

This week for class we are in Intro to Fine Arts. And art is not really my thing...but we've looked at some ancient history which I like so that has made yesterday managable. The rest of the week could get long and complicated.

Either way...next week we travel to see some of the things we've discussed in class - in Florence, Rome and Venice! ROAD TRIP!
