Video Blog Posts 9 and 10: Munich Parts .5, 1, 2, and Bonus: River Surfing




Hello everybody! We just returned home from 10 day, so now I am going to get busy posting all of these videos, hopefully to soon follow with the posting of videos from Greece.  This is a compilation of a few videos from Munich, the first (above) is from right after our arrival, while the second (below) is a compilation of two videos, one from mid-day on the first day in Munich, and the other from that evening (though I may have mislabeled it as the next day, it is from the first night in Munich).  Also included is a bonus video of people surfing in a river in Munich's English Garden, a very cool thing to see.  Hope you all enjoy!

Video Blog Post 7: Forum

Here's a video from the same day as the Colosseum, right next door at the Roman Forum.  It starts at Palatine Hill, the birthplace of Roman civilization, and moves down into the Forum, where we toured in the morning.  Enjoy!

Video Blog Post 6: Colosseum

Here is a fairly short video from the Roman Colosseum, where we went with the class about two weeks ago, right before Greece (more to come on Greece in the future).  This is the one and same Colosseum that hosted the gladiatorial contests and the like, and was an amazing visit with the class.  We also went to the Roman Forum on the same day, and that was quite breathtaking as well (video to come soon).  Hope you enjoy the videos and keep looking for more, as they will keep coming.  Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.  Enjoy!

Video Blog Post 5: Mondello Beach

I know this is a bit close to the time I put up the Palermo Market video, but we're trying to catch up, so they'll come a but faster now.  This is from a beach just west of Palermo, where Palermenians (Palermonians? Palermons? I don't know...) like to hang out in the summer.  A very nice place, even though we happened to be there in the winter.  Anyway, enjoy!

Video Blog Post 4: Palermo Market

Here's a short video of the market in Palermo, Sicily, where we went about three weeks ago.  Sorry it took so long to get up, internet on campus = really slow.....  Anyway, here it is.  Later that day we went back and bought  all we needed for dinner, (e.g. Swordfish steaks, fresh kiwi, octopus, pasta, and olive oil).  We also met a guy from Massachusetts later.  He had moved to Sicily to take over the family farm and helped show us around his awesome organic shop.  The experience was incredible, and we really wish there was "Smell-a-vision" for you guys, because the aromas are unbeatable.  Anyway, enjoy!
