 Beautiful Civita |  The walking bridge to see the monastary |  Just one of the amazing doors and hidden spaces in Civita |
I'm officially in Italy! After a day and a half of traveling from Texas to Rome I made it to Europe safe and sound.
Traveling with a giant portfolio was definitely a new experience for me. At first with my back page portfolio I felt quite foolish checking in through security and walking through the airport but I soon found this style is very suiting, not only did I stand out and look fabulous ;) but it opens up a nice amount of space while walking through a crowded airport. Not to worry I'll post a picture of my epic portfolio when I arrive in Cinque Terre.
Currently I am still recuperating from jet lag, but we have already had a very busy two day period. After landing in Rome, we drove to an amazing spot called Civita di Bagnoregio. It was raining slightly but made this monastery on a cliff look so mysterious, I felt as though I was in Middle Earth. It was also quite a hike up the bridge but very much worth the trip!

After this adventure we headed towards our hotel in Todi, Italy (Located in the Umbria Region) Our hotel was quaint and the owners were beyond welcoming. The food and drinks at the restaurant were amazing. After a restless jet lag night we finally attempted some 5 minute sketching practice to prep for Cinque Terre. We were able to see the amazing Medieval buildings and drive the narrow winding streets to find a few choice spots for our composition practice ( I will post sketches in my next post)
After Todi (which I'm dying to go back to!) We headed out towards Fiesole to stay at our next hotel location. On the way there we stopped for a delicious meal and amazing ceramics in Deruta. Stay tuned for scenes of Florence tomorrow.
