Ciao





Hi ladies!

I am studying abroad in Florence for the semester and it has been absolutely amazing! Within a month, I have been to five different cities: Florence, Lucca, Milan, Venice, and Rome. Adjusting to life abroad was super easy, but this past week I found myself missing Stern ever so slightly (all of you in the states may think that I'm crazy). I've definitely seen a lot, and I hope that you enjoy the pictures!

Budapest

This past weekend Kathleen, Alyssa, and I traveled to Budapest.
Fun fact: Buda and Pest are actually separate cities, separated by the Danube River (Who knew!)

Both Buda and Pest were beautiful and we were able to go on a guided tour of the city, visit the Terror Museum which explained life under the Nazi and Soviet Occupation, and visit the Hungarian Baths (large, community hot tubs ... SO relaxing).

Definitely a great weekend, enjoy the pictures!

XOXO,
Sandhya

Paris!







Best view: top of Mont Marte
Best baguette: Eric Kayser! Sarkozy gets his morning baguette from the same shop!
Paris is the only city whose subway system rivals New York. It is impossible to go anywhere without transferring at least 3 times!

Greetings from Prague!




Hello All!

Kathleen and I are having a phenomenal time in Prague so far!  We have visited the castle, famous Charles Bridge, and have been thoroughly enjoying Czech cuisine! 

Please find pictures above!  In the first pic we were at a concert NYU planned for us.  The next two are the NYU in Prague main building and the famous astronomical clock in the main square!

XOXO
Alyssa and Kathleen
