Italia Home<\/a><\/p>\n

So it was time for us to return to the United States.\u00a0 I think I’ll let Terry Lynn tell you about my “losing” both our passports.<\/p>\n

If you are still interested, check out Rita’s Italian Exchange website<\/a>\u00a0(photos of the students from Hampshire High and the Italian hosts, the itinerary and other links.)<\/p>\n

Finally there are a bunch of photos on this page.\u00a0 Some are not mine, but I can’t remember who shared the photos.<\/p>\n

\u201cTravel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one\u2019s lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n

(“Il viaggio \u00e8 fatale per il pregiudizio, il fanatismo e la ristrettezza mentale, e molte delle nostre persone ne hanno bisogno su questi racconti. Le vedute ampie, salutari e caritatevoli di uomini e cose non possono essere acquisite vegetando in un piccolo angolo della terra per tutta la vita.”) —\u00a0Mark Twain<\/p>\n
