I must call a brief intermission from the cruise recount. I am in Florence with the 6th grade fieldtrip (not bragging, just stating the facts). I will finish up with the Med in a few days and maybe have a few pics to share from the adventures of 100+ twelve year olds exploring the roots of the Renaissance in it's birthplace. A few quotes from the day:
"When are we going shopping?"
"But Dr. Redmond, I am mature."
" The gelato we had after lunch was not as good as the gelato we had after dinner."
"Why are there so may dead people in this church?"
"Can I share your umbrella?"
"There are no frescos in this church because it would confuse the simplicity of the architectural form." A 12 year old came up with that astute observation.
I think we may have a few Renaissance minds of the 6th grade variety.
