Fall Break Plans

Looks like my friends (Jackie Stucker, Owen Belcher and Sam Hunter) and I will be going to Vienna and Berlin for our fall break in Europe!

Our current plan is to fly from Rome to Berlin Saturday, October 17th, from Berlin to Vienna Wednesday, October 21st and then back to Arezzo Sunday, October 25th. We're planning on seeing the Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics on the trip! We're also going to try to get tickets to the performance of L'Orfeo at La Scala on October 3rd.

Can't wait!
