And Now A Bryson in Italy too

Just on a side note. Most of you know that my daughter, Meredith, is a student at UNC. (Yes, that’s still hard to admit for a die-hard Wolfpacker, like myself.) Well, this semester she is spending in Florence, Italy. Sounds like a pretty nice place for class work, doesn’t it? She got her chance for “overseas study” and opted for Florence for its unique life in the arts to go along with the education. UNC has the most students in overseas study of any public institution of higher learning.

The students started with a two-week crash course in Italian. Now she is into classes like “Opera”. What better place to study that?

I called her on Saturday, and she was standing in the center of St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican. And she has already been to Milan. She does know how to get around. This Friday she is going to the Olympics. Good timing to be in Italy too!

Her computer time is fairly limited, but she is keeping her own blog too now. We are not only keeping the sun shining on Brysons round the clock, but we are also spreading the internet with our travelogues too! You can read about some of her exploits and travels at: www.mcbryson.blogspot.com
