This is the final day of classes
today. I can not believe how time flew by! Today we are discussing the final
places in Crete we have not gone by watching videos. Then later in the day we
discuss our final paper topics. For my paper I am focusing on the similarities
and differences of ancient architecture in Crete, Greece and Rome, Italy. That
is where I travel next for a week to visit family and also to tour Rome. I am
really looking forward to it.
Today we began going over yesterdays
trip. We listened to some of Ross Daly’s music of him playing the Lyra. I
thought it was very beautiful to listen to. It would have been great to here
some of those instruments being played yesterday. Also some of the things we
discussed was the Mediterranean diet. The Mediterranean diet encompasses more
than just food. It also promotes social interaction because it is an important
part of social customs and festival events. The diet is a way of like beyond the
food.
The speaker we had today was Lawyer Maria
Filippaki. Her name means Maria who is a friend of horses. She is discussing
today law in myth. Born in Heraklion and after school she left Crete and
travelled to Italy to study law there. For three years she studied and then transferred
back to University of Athens to get her degree in law. I asked her about Italy
and she gave me a wonderful answer. She described Rome as a beautiful, stylish
Lady and you never have enough time there. And the monuments are beautiful. All
the universities look like you are studying in an ancient city. I can not wait
to go on Sunday. I can not believe how time flew by here and this has been an
experience I will never forget. I have made so many memories, pictures, and friendships.
