So I just figured out how to add pictures to the blog so I'm gonna try to update my posts with some pictures so you can see everything! The format of the pictures is kind of difficult to edit so excuse the ugliness...

Also, my professor for my Art History class may very well be the most interesting man in the world. He is a PhD of art history and has taught university in Paris for years. He also is an acclaimed tour guide. He also works at the Cannes Film Festival. Lastly, he is a location scout for Universal, and worked on movies such as The Da Vinci Code (produced by Michael De Luca, the brilliant producer I worked for this summer!!) He is close friends with Quentin Tarantino and drove him from the airport to Cannes with the original tape of Pulp Fiction. He has met three presidents to give them tours of various countries. He was Michael Jackson's personal driver and friend for two and a half months during a European tour. He has met Nelson Mandela. He participated in an archaeological dig in Pompeii. He has hung out with the cast of Ocean's 11. Long story short, he is the coolest guy I've ever met. He is so unbelievably knowledgeable about not only art but also history. The way he formats our class is such that he will show us a painting and explain what was going on at the time, in both the region and the world. He helps us understand why these paintings are so important by giving us the context. I swear he must know everything about the history of the last 2500 years.

Today is Friday. I'm going to Dublin tonight. Next weekend, I'm going to Amsterdam. The weekend after that, Paris. Europe is awesome.
