I found this really neat panorama setting on my camera- perfect for this view. But still, pictures do it no justice, you will just have to travel here and see it for yourself!
This is the building where we are staying- it is a converted convent and now UGA uses it as the dormitory for the Cortona campus. There is a classroom, kitchens, a breakfast room, a common room, and a lot of bedrooms.
We did wine tasting today in lab.
We tried four white wines: Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay. We also got 3 types of cheese, bread, and prosciutto. Most awesome lab ever!
We also had a formal wine tasting before dinner Monday night. We tried one white wine and two red wines. It was definitely an interesting experience.
After dinner we went and got gelatto. I got Dark Chcoloate and Cookies flavor. So far i have tried 6 different flavors of gelato-all delicious. Tiramisu and Fragola (Strawberry) are in the lead as of now.
This are some of us on the trip. There are two different groups- Viticulture and Science, about 30ish in each.
I have met some awesome people and made some great friends. I am excited to get to know everyone even better in the next 3 weeks!
Thank gelato looks delicious!
