DAY 5 — Salzburg! 🌨️ Woke up to snow, and, of course, first down for breakfast. But I saw students in the gym! 🎼 “Tea with jam and bread” indeed! 🎼

A walk in the snow to Mirabell Palace and Gardens.

We learned a lot on our Sound of Music tour of Salzburg. Seeing gardens, churches, city squares. Of course, soooo much snow.

#MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023 #MVInterim

We start with questions at Mount Vernon, always asking the guide follow ups! Chris and Chloe are great at it.

Crossing bridge in winter… not so dangerous, right?!

#MVEurope2023 #MVInterim2023

Views of St. Peter’s and the City’s Cathedral.

More sights from around the city! And a fancy sign for McDonald’s! Shopping in the city streets, very Hallmark movie chic.

After lunch we had a chance to stop at Mozart’s Gerburtshaus and learn about one of the world’s greatest composers.

Because you can’t take pictures in the Sistine Chapel, guides teach about its history, importance, and symbolism outside of the chapel and Vatican Museums.

#MVInterim24
#MVMalta24

Along the way, we get to see numerous works of art, including the famous Laocoon.

#MVMalta24

We also learn geography!

A corridor filled the over 40 maps of the territories of Italy!

Of course, I took pictures of the hallway, not the maps. But Trey took plenty!

DAY 8 THREAD:
After breakfast in the hotel, we get pumped in the lobby for a day of walking around the city to view the artifacts of Ancient Rome and share reminders about public transportation in a foreign city. First view: St Mary of the Nativity.

Next up: the Coliseum! And wishing Charlie a Happy Birthday! We are learning about the engineering of this Coliseum and how it is still used today as the blueprints for modern stadiums.

Our meeting point is The Arch of Constantine. Arches were built to commemorate great victories. In the distance, the hill where Romulus and Remus founded the ancient city of Rome.

A nice sunrise and walk across the city with our luggage. On the bus for our drive to Palermo.

A few lovely views along the way to Palermo!

And, no, I didn’t take pictures of anyone sleeping on the bus!

Pictures weren’t allowed at our stop this morning — the Capuchin Crypts, where bodies have been mummified, preserved, and displayed for nearly 400 years.

But we are all checked in for our flight to Rome!

DAY 6 THREAD:
After a sweet breakfast, common for Italians, students jumped on the bus to head to the Siracusa Archeological Park — meeting our local guide, Lucia. Lucia shared info on the history of this area as a quarry.

We learned about the feats of engineering used to create giant blocks for building. But we also learned about the importance of pillars in supporting the roof structures.

An early morning wake up call at 4:15 AM to be on the ferry to Sicily! The person with the most energy: our tour director Vanessa!

So not everyone is sleeping. We have cards, friendship bracelet making, and some reading. Dr. Schewe deep at work building Altitude cards.

DAY 4 begins! A morning bus ride out of the capitol to the outer rim of the island.

Driving through the city happened to catch some of the various architectural sights you can see across the island — a true mix of influences!

A stroll along the bayside of Marsaxlokk Port and stalls. We had the chance to learn about the role the bay plays in Maltese culture. Boats are prized possessions and are often painted in vibrant colors.
